BOOKMARK THIS PAGE

And Use It As Your Starting Point For Online Apologetic Research

 

Every time I begin research a topic for an article or a talk I always end up going to the same online resources. Some time ago, I thought of making a web page where I can bring up all the online resources in one convenient place. But then I thought, "Why make it just for me? Other apologists could benefit from this virtual apologetic desktop." Hence, the Apologetic Desktop Page was born. Here is how it works.

Select the online resource that you would like to have up and running for your research. The drop down menu will then open a new window with your selection. Remember to set your popup blocker so that it will allow new windows for this page. There is one important thing to remember.  These resources are recommended for their usefulness and not necessarily for the content elsewhere on their site.

Enjoy the Desktop Page! If you go on line mainly to do apologetics, you may wish to set this page as your default home page. I did.
