He is author of a number of books including True ^Discipleship, God Our Father, and Names of Israel. John and his wife, ^Jane, live in northwest Indiana and have two sons.

Throughout history, some within the Protestant community compromised core ^Christian principles to "fit the times." John Koessler joins several of his Moody ^Bible Institute colleagues in introducing fundamental truths of the Christian faith ^to a generation unfamiliar with the essence of Christianity.

At various times, some within the Protestant community have compromised ^core Christian principles to "fit the times". Challenging these truths, many members ^of the evangelical community have stood up for the key doctrines that, in their ^view, remain essential to the Christian faith. In Foundational Faith, John ^Koessler, a professor at Moody Bible Institute, joins several of his colleagues ^in introducing fundamental truths of the Christian faith to a generation increasingly ^unfamiliar with the original and true essence of Christianity.
