Description
Michael Evans had grown up in a Christian home with God-fearing parents and grandparents who were constantly preaching at him, but he would have none of it. He was smarter than that. He was the only one in his family that had gone past the twelfth grade. He had finished high school and gone to the state university and was certain that he understood the world. He couldn't see how anyone could believe in a loving God with all the violence, hatred, disease, cruelty, and crime in the world. He believed in facing reality, but several things were about to rock his world and challenge his beliefs and his understanding of the world.

Local notes
"The protagonist, Mike Evans, an avowed evolutionist is invited by a Christian friend to hear a Creation speaker, after which he has a crisis of faith. Determined to convince his friend that he's wrong about creationism, Mike bones up on his Darwin, but actually reading The Origin of the Species and Descent of Man convinces him that evolution is more philosophy and argument than science. The rest of the story explores Mike's developing faith and ministry in the face of increasing resistance from the evolutionist establishment. Mike's New Reality reads like a modern-day In His Steps for Biblical Creationists; like Charles Sheldon's classic work of fiction, we are presented with a down-to-earth yet inspiring tale of believers working shoulder-to-shoulder to build one another's faith, fight error, proclaim the Gospel and further the Kingdom! Author Buddy Helms evidences an unapologetic confidence in the power of God's Word to change lives and destroy the lies of Satan." (review by T. Breeden).
