In Todays episode we are talking about a subject we all want to know about. Just not first hand. Not yet anyway. Elyse Fitzpatrick has a book out called Home: How Heaven and the New Earth Satisfy Our Deepest Longings. Adam interviewed Elyse several years ago and loved it so much that he did it again.

In this episode we have a real treat. Christian radio veteran Bob Lepine is on the show! He and Adam are talking about Bob's new book The four Emotions of Christmas.

Adam sat down with Thomas Schreiner to talk about perseverance. Thomas has a book out that covers the doctrine of perseverance and challenges and assurances. Run to Win the Prize will make you think. and so will this Podcast.

Todd is back on the podcast! we always love it when Todd is on to tell us what is going on with the persecuted church abroad. As always I'm sure he will have some great stories of what God is doing in and through them.

Adam called up Erik Raymond. He is a fellow New Englander. They has a great discussion about his book He Is Not Ashamed, Erik takes us on a close look at the “family portrait” of God―filled with imperfect people throughout Scripture―and shows that God is not repelled by anyone’s shameful past, but delights to redeem and receive those who believe in him. It was a really good conversation.

Adam talked to Seth Lewis in this installment. Seth's book talks about finding our significance and meaning in our Creator. Not in achieving personal success, and making a big impact. But knowing our Creator, and the contentment that is found in discovering his purpose for our lives.

It's so easy to read the Bible and miss the meaning. Today Adam is talking with Ben Connelly about this very issue and how to overcome it. Ben's book Reading the Bible, Missing the Gospel is a great place to start in overcoming this problem. So is the interview so take a listen.
