Welcome to the program today.

Mauna Gonzalez here in studio with Jonathan Bretner,

and we are going to be talking about what I'm looking forward to

as really it's got to be the greatest feast ever

in the history of humanity.

Stick around. Welcome back. We are here with Jonathan Bretner and we're going to talk with him in a moment about his new book.

Before we do that, I'll remind everybody about our upcoming conference that is going to be October 9th through 12th in Norman, Oklahoma.

We've got over 20 speakers that are going to be here. It's going to be a great time of fellowship

and teaching and just, again, staying update. As you know, the world is turning into chaos,

no surprise. And we want to make sure that our hearts are ready and that we're truly prepared

for the Lord's Return. So prophecywaters.com, check it out. If you can join us in Norman, that would be great. If not,

you can certainly live stream the conference. There'll be information there on that as well. It's going to be an awesome time. And again, the Lord is coming. All we have to do is look around. Well, welcome, Jonathan. Oh, thanks so much for having me, man. It's a privilege to be here. This is good, and you have a new book, Invitation to a Lavish Feast.

And for those in our audience that might not know about you. Give us a little background about yourself. Well, I went to seminary way back when at Talbot Seminary in the 70s and after that I worked for the Lacking Foundation on their

concordance of the gospel of also concordance of the Bible,

doing technical Hebrew work.

And after that, I went back and got an MBA

at the University of Iowa.

I worked as a financial analyst for several years.

And then I retired to start writing.

And in the meantime, I've been writing for David C. Cook.

I wrote Sunday school lessons for David C. Cook from actually started in 1984 through

2022, about 37 years, 38 years for them.
