Greetings and salutations. Welcome back to Life and Books and Everything. I'm Kevin DeYoung,

and I'm going to introduce my guest, our first returning visitor, hopefully not victim,

but returning visitor to LBE for an interview.

And that is Dr. Alan Gelsso.

So we're going to talk about his book on Abraham Lincoln.

First, I want to thank Crossway for sponsoring LBE and mention this week,

Sinclair Ferguson, almost every Presbyterian's favorite preacher, or one of them,

your own pastor should be your favorite preacher. But after that, Sinclair is a good choice.

His book, Worthy, Living in Light of the Gospel,

a short, accessible guide explains the importance of living a life worthy of the gospel.

It's the second book of the Growing Gospel Integrity Series.

So do pick that up.

Always benefit from Sinclair's books.

Dr. Gelsso, glad to have you with us for enduring many technological

trials and tribulations. Thank you for taking time to be here again. Most of the trials

tribulations are a product of my own techno incompetence. Well, I will tell you we have experts here helping and almost every time

we record this, something goes wrong. So many of us are dealing with the same thing. Thank you so much for

being here. And last time, a year or two ago, we talked about your new biography then on Robert E. Lee. So I'm just

curious, what sort of feedback have you gotten on that? How has the book done? What has been the

reception? It seems like it's been positively received. Well, surprisingly so, given the environment

that Robert E. Lee seems to inhabit these days in public

opinion, most of the evaluations that I have seen have been surprisingly positive.
