I wrote this book for normal people. It was hard, and I had so much fun. What a privilege. FROM EDEN TO EGYPT releases today.

as you travel this summer, listen to this and be encouraged.

With a hat-tip to @natebargatze, I wrote about what to do when the Bible seems confusing. In short: lean in and look close.

This Derby summary is basically my career arc.

In Genesis 15, some weird, FANTASIA-like stuff happens: a smoking fire pot waltzes next to a flaming torch through a ramshackle road made up by bloody appendages. What’s it all mean?

I just watched someone pick this up, thumb through it for a few seconds, and silently put it back down. It was exhilarating. If you’re at #TGC25, you can do the same.

Was Tim Keller woke? The only way to find out is to purchase my friend Matt’s book at full-price, and buy one for your friend, too.

The Bible isn’t boring. But sometimes—I assume I’m allowed to say this?—books about the Bible are boring. And other times, the non-boring books are usually hare-brained or heretical. So, I tried to write a non-boring, non-heretical book about the Bible.

This is my favorite blurb, from perhaps my favorite author. And to answer his question, no, I wasn’t “on something,” except copious amounts of Quills coffee. Ironically, I fell asleep more than once while *writing* this book.

The website @biblegateway apparently has more than just dozens of versions of the Bible. Their blog adapted a section of FROM EDEN TO EGYPT. You can read it here:

Genesis 3 is also the first time Jesus shows up. The first spark of the gospel shows up in Genesis 3:15. The bad news for the serpent is good news for us. His curse is our blessing.

Genesis 3 is a five-act origin story for original sin: . • Act 1: motive and opportunity (3:1–5).• Act 2: the crime (3:6).• Act 3: the trial (3:7–13).• Act 4: the sentencing (3:14–20).• Act 5: the gracious exile (3:21–23).

I usually read @KylePorterNS after big golf weekends. I *always* read him after The Masters. Here he is on Rory’s cathartic, stomach-curling win. I’ve never seen excellence be so humane.
