Sample Book Insights:

#1 When I was in high school, I went to a Christian camp in Muscatine, Iowa, with my girlfriend Kris. I was not particularly open to spiritual things, but when I prayed, something powerful happened. I went to breakfast a new person.

#2 I had no idea that I would go to college in Grand Rapids and become a bookaholic, buying books with money I didn’t have. I had no idea that teaching the Bible would mean these things.

#3 I was raised in a Christian home, but I was not taught to believe in God. I was taught to believe in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny. I was taught that some things were hogwash, and I learned that we all pick and choose what we want to believe.

#4 We all adopt the Bible and adapt it to our culture. This means that we pick and choose what we want to follow from it. It’s easier for us to hear that we adopt and adapt, but the two expressions really mean the same thing.
