Well, it's time to have another deserted island moment here on five minutes in church history

0:06.1

and I have with us Dr. Conrad and Bayway Dr. and Bayway, it's nice to see you again.

0:10.9

Thank you. Thanks to you for having me.

0:12.8

We were with you a few weeks back and we have you here again and we are giving you a true gift, brother.

0:18.2

We are going to relieve you of all of your hard work there at African Christian University

0:24.4

and we're going to let you just go off to a deserted island to spend some time enjoying some books.

0:30.4

1:53.3

You gave me some nostalgia. All right, so we've got two, we've got three more.

1:58.5

We sort of banked that. I also want to throw in a biography and I think I would go for

2:10.2

the Anodali Mos, I think the summarized biography of Whitfield rather than the two volumes.

2:19.6

To the heavy volume tone. Yes, I always remember that I struggled through the second volume because
