Summary

I’ve been watching and listening to Andrew Klavan for a few years and always admired his communication chops. He has something to say and he says it well. Two of his novels have been adapted into movies, True Crime, directed by Clint Eastwood, and Don’t Say a Word starring Michael Douglas.

In the interview you’ll find out how and why he came to Christ; the unique challenges faced by Jewish finders of Christian truth; and why commentary on culture is more important today than ever.

Few writers also speak very well. Mr. Klavan is one of those few. Enjoy his autobiography The Great Good Thing: A Secular Jew Comes To Faith In Christ, as I did.
