I have personally witnessed Glen’s journey and have been an active agent in his journey to faith in Jesus, even being privileged to baptize him. His apologetics approach to faith including a healthy skepticism only underlines the credibility of the story in this book. Through an intelligent journey with a personal touch, you’ll find this book entertaining as well as thought provoking.

Andrej Mongiello, Master’s in History, JUDr., and Ph.D. in Theoretical Legal Studies, writes:

Finding Your Safety Net is a very inspiring and interesting, but also provocative and courageous book. Glen carefully describes his personal, sometimes painful, and definitely not-straightforward life journey as he searched for meaning in his life and eventually came to have faith in Jesus Christ, be baptized, and start to celebrate Communion. The underlying message of this book is very powerful: a modern scholar with a strong scientific and non-Christian background can find a constructive connection with Jesus’ teachings and become a believer. As a Christian and a social scientist, Glen shows in Finding Your Safety Net how innovative and academic thinking about facts and reason can coexist with belief and faith in biblically-based Christianity, even connecting and complementing each other in original, encouraging, and inspiring ways.

George Bradley, www.JesusPDX.org and Associate Pastor at www.HopeIn- ternationalChurch.org, writes:

Former atheists are writing the most fulfilling books I read! Glen’s Finding Your Safety Net is no exception. His life story is heart-warming. In these pages, we see how God is gradually shaping minds like Glen’s and filling them with Jesus’ truth and love.

I recently read books by a university professor, a legal editor, and a homicide detective. All three were committed atheists until they investigated evidence for Jesus themselves. When these former skeptics analyzed the reasons for reliance on God, their lives were changed as His veracity poured into their extraordinary brains. I am talking about Oxford professor C. S. Lewis, Yale-educated Lee Strobel, and UCLA-trained J. Warner Wallace. The first (Lewis) was a literary genius. The second (Strobel) is a former legal researcher. The third (Wallace) is a world-class cold-case investigator. All three were committed atheists. Then they used their mental gifts to think through the considerable case for theism.

No one would be right if they were to claim that Glen’s newfound confidence in Jesus was a product of his environment. He was not raised in a Christian family or culture. His education was also secular. Glen resisted the miracles of God and the claims of Christ.

I was delighted to be Glen’s friend long before he was a believer. For over 15 years, I observed Glen resist Jesus as Messiah. Then I watched with wonder as God slowly nudged Glen’s analytical and graduate school-trained mind into the Scriptures, where he experienced veracity personified!

Dear Reader. It’s a joy to endorse Glen Covert’s work. As you read Finding Your Safety Net, I hope you will ask yourself, What is keeping me from being a wholly committed follower of Jesus of Nazareth? What are my doubts and difficulties with the Bible? Allow yourself to be inspired to search for answers to your questions in a thorough, yet reasonable way; read the Gospels, investigate, interview, and humble yourself before God and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. Let Finding Your Safety Net be part of your search. I am confident that reading it will be a positive step on your journey toward God. It might even be the book you have been looking for as you’ve been searching for your safety net for a stronger and more resilient life.
