This is Life and Books and Everything hosted by Kevin DeYoung, Justin Taylor, and Colin Hanson.

Greetings and salutations. Good to have you with us for life and books and everything.

I am just reading our names off of the squadcast screen, Rev Kev, with Colin Hansen,

and I'm probably having technical difficulties guy.

That's Justin.

Glad to have you all with us.

Thank you. Sounds perfect.

I would like to start us in a little different direction, and we will get to, you know, there's lots that we could talk about in the world around us at really important things.

And, you know, the three of us have been communicating that we're walking this, this

delicate balance here that this is life and books and everything.

And so we want to talk about books, but I guess there's life and there's everything in there.

And, you know, on certain weeks, I mean, we would be derelict if we had never said anything

about coronavirus, just happily talking about books as if there's no global pandemic or

talking about life as if there is not a major historical moment going on as best as we can see in our country regarding race.

So we will talk about some of those things.

And yet there are lots of podcasts out there that give you the latest on current events from a Christian perspective.

And those are really helpful.

And we're not

trying to duplicate that.

So with all of that as a preface, I wanted to start before we get to any of that.

And this may sound like a weird place to begin, but I'm reading a book right now.

It's about 10 years old, 15 years old.
