Excerpt From The Interview
“We want the Bible to satisfy our curiosity and we want to learn facts and figures. And this book helps us do that to some degree. But I tell you what, we must always be moving toward the application of God’s word. God’s Word is written to make a difference in who we are, to guide us, to walk us, to give us light in this messy, old, ugly world. And we need to be able to show the relevancy. So we wanted to bring all of that together in this book.”
