Manuel, I have never heard of Dr. Lisle.

For what reasons would I want him in my library, and thus vote for him?  What are his positions upon which he writes?

That's not surprising Scooter, he's not particularly well known yet. Lisle is an astrophysicist and apologist. And if I remember correctly he's coming from the reformed tradition, with his apologetics aimed at defending a literal understanding of creation within Genesis. A lot of people were introduced to him through James R White, when they did a couple of podcasts together a few years ago. You can find more here - https://answersingenesis.org/bios/jason-lisle/

I own the first two titles as physical books. 'Ultimate proof of creation' engages with the genesis account of creation, particularly with the current debate around evolution and the origins of the universe.

Keeping faith in an age of reason is a helpful apologetic, walking though a number of apparent contradictions within the bible raised by some atheists online. A digital edition that I could search would probably serve it well, as the physical copy frustratingly doesn't come with an index to the contradictions addressed within the book.

As with a lot of apologetic works on these topics, they are probably most helpful for Christians looking to address their own doubts or concerns, and for that purpose I'd recommend it! That said, at least in my area of the world, issues around creation/evolution haven't been particularly relevant to apologetics for probably the last 20 years. Issues of identity and sexuality are the hot topics and have been for a while now.
