Frank Turek is a Christian apologist, speaker, and author known for his work in defending the faith through logic, evidence, and Scripture.

I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
Co-authored with Norman Geisler, this book walks readers through evidence for God, the reliability of Scripture, and the truth of Christianity. Turek argues that atheism requires greater faith than belief in God because it must ignore the overwhelming evidence of design, morality, and history. The book provides step-by-step arguments for God’s existence and Jesus’ resurrection.
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” (Psalm 19:1)
Stealing from God: Why Atheists Need God to Make Their Case
In this book, Turek explains how atheists borrow moral truths, reason, and logic from a Christian worldview while denying God’s existence. He highlights that concepts like justice, goodness, and truth only make sense if God exists. The book challenges readers to consider how morality collapses without a divine foundation.
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen.” (Romans 1:20)
Correct, Not Politically Correct
This short book takes on the cultural debates surrounding same-sex marriage and gender. Turek argues from Scripture, natural law, and common sense, making the case that marriage is designed by God for human flourishing. While addressing sensitive issues, he emphasizes truth spoken in love.
“Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female?” (Matthew 19:4)
Correct, Not Politically Correct: About Same-Sex Marriage and Transgenderism
An expanded version of the earlier work, this book tackles both same-sex marriage and transgender issues. Turek uses biblical teaching, biological facts, and logical reasoning to show why God’s design for humanity is best. The book is a resource for Christians navigating these pressing cultural conversations.
“So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” (Genesis 1:27)
Hollywood Heroes: How Your Favorite Movies Reveal God
Co-written with his son Zach Turek, this book connects popular films like The Avengers and Harry Potter to the gospel message. Turek shows how themes of sacrifice, redemption, and good versus evil point back to the story of Christ. It’s a creative way to share biblical truth through modern storytelling.
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15:13)
Legislating Morality: Is It Wise? Is It Legal? Is It Possible?
Written with Norman Geisler, this book argues that all laws are based on some moral standard. Turek challenges the idea that morality cannot be legislated, showing instead that societies always legislate a vision of right and wrong. The book equips Christians to think biblically about law and government.
“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.” (Proverbs 14:34)
