Steve's Multimedia PowerPoint Presentations include:
(1) Proclaiming the Reality of God: Scientific and Human Evidence of God’s Existence
This unique presentation provides amazing scientific evidence―as well as evidence from human nature―demonstrating God’s existence.
(2) Near-Death Experiences: Evidence of the Soul
This presentation provides compelling evidence from medical studies of near-death experiences (NDEs), including astounding personal testimonies, that reveal the reality of our soul, heaven, hell, and the afterlife.
(3) Why Would a Loving God Allow Evil, Pain, and Suffering?
This presentation looks at how the greatest Christian thinkers of all time have dealt with the problem of evil and the mystery of suffering in a world made and pronounced “good” by God.

By unraveling the importance and theology of the Mass, this presentation will strengthen the practice of our Faith and provide helpful information for sharing with those who do not fully understand the value of attending Mass.
