1. Christianity on Trial: A Lawyer Examines the Christian Faith

Lanier uses his experience as a top trial lawyer to “put Christianity on the stand,” examining historical evidence, eyewitness testimony, and philosophical objections. He argues that, when tested by the standards of the courtroom, the core claims of Christianity are intellectually credible and historically reliable.

2. Atheism on Trial: A Lawyer Examines the Case for Unbelief

This is the flip side of Christianity on Trial: Lanier evaluates atheism as if it were the position on the stand. He probes whether a purely atheistic worldview adequately explains reality—questions of meaning, morality, origins, and human experience—and contends that atheism has significant explanatory gaps compared with Christian theism.

3. Torah for Living: Daily Prayers, Wisdom, and Guidance

A year-long devotional (one entry per day) drawn from the first five books of the Bible. Each reading takes a short passage from the Torah, offers a brief reflection that links ancient text to everyday life, and ends with a prayer, emphasizing wisdom, obedience, and trust in God.

4. Psalms for Living: Daily Prayers, Wisdom, and Guidance

A daily devotional built around the Psalms. Lanier uses selected verses to explore themes like lament, praise, trust, and hope, connecting the emotional honesty of the Psalms to modern struggles and closing each entry with a prayer shaped by the text.

5. Jesus for Living: Daily Prayers, Wisdom, and Guidance

This devotional focuses on Jesus’ life and teaching. Each day’s reading highlights a Gospel passage or Christ-centered text, offers a short reflection on discipleship and Christlike character, and ends with a prayer inviting readers to align their lives more closely with Jesus.

6. Minor Prophets for Living: Daily Prayers, Wisdom, and Guidance

Here Lanier works through the often-overlooked Minor Prophets (Hosea through Malachi). Daily entries unpack the prophets’ themes—justice, repentance, faithfulness, and hope—showing how these ancient messages speak to contemporary issues, with each reflection paired with a closing prayer.

7. New Testament Letters for Living: Daily Prayers, Wisdom, and Guidance

This volume moves into the New Testament epistles. For each day of the year, Lanier reflects on a passage from the letters (Pauline and others), draws out theology and practical wisdom for the church today, and finishes with a prayer. It’s aimed at helping believers live out the doctrinal and ethical teaching of the early Christian communities.
