Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the Ten Blocks podcast. This is your host, Brian Anderson, the editor of

City Journal. Coming up on the show today, we have a special summertime edition of Ten Blocks.

Andrew Claven is an award-winning novelist, Hollywood screenwriter, political commentator, and a

longtime contributing editor of City Journal,

where he's written on everything from war films to Shakespeare and Wordsworth to living in Los Angeles.

Our listeners have probably seen Drew's work, too, at The Daily Wire, the website founded by

our mutual friend Ben Shapiro, where he hosts the Andrew Claven Show.

Drew's latest book is called The Great Good Thing, A Secular Jew comes to Faith in Christ.

It's a powerful spiritual memoir about his conversion as a secular Jew to Christianity

and all of his struggles to find his path in between.

Paul Beston, City Journal's managing editor, sat down with Drew during a recent trip to New York,

and it's a fascinating conversation. We know that religious conversion isn't a topic we

typically cover on the Ten Blocks podcast, but the story is truly universal and we thought our listeners would enjoy it.

We'll be back next week with more Ten Blocks.

Thank you. Hello, I'm Paul Beston, managing editor of City Journal, and I'm joined today by Andrew Clavin, a contributing editor of the magazine, and a bestselling and award-winning author of many books,

as well as being a screenwriter and essayist and host of the Andrew Claven Show podcast on The Daily Wire.

Drew is here today to talk about an unusual book in his large canon,

his recent spiritual memoir, The Great Good Thing, a secular Jew comes to faith in Christ.

And with a subtitle like that, Drew, I hope that Weirwolf Cop is selling lots of copies.

Thanks for joining us.

Thank you.

It's good to be here.
