• carlmedearis.com is now offering free teaching videos on line. He also offers a 7 week video course for $29 USD, which is more in-depth than the free ones, but his stuff is pretty good. I wouldn't agree with him on everything he says, but I really like his attitude and down to earth interactions in terms of relating to Muslims, and I find his talks challenging. His two best books - Muslims, Christians and Jesus and Speaking of Jesus, are great challenging reads. (Tim M)
