"For over thirty years I have been defending the Christian faith and dealing with the ideas Dan Brown presents in The Da Vinci Code. When I first read his fast-paced novel I knew it was my responsibility to provide answers for the Christian community and for anyone seeking the truth about Jesus. I wrote Counterfeit Code to help Christians respond in the right way, with the right answers."
