Summary

Today, we sit down with author and Daily Wire host Andrew Klavan to discuss his new book, "The Kingdom of Cain: Finding God in the Literature of Darkness." We talk about the nature of evil in this world and how God uses even the most heinous acts to point back to Him and His goodness. We also discuss the popularity of the true crime genre, particularly among women, and explore why people are drawn to such darkness. Andrew also shares a bit of his testimony with us and how he seeks to glorify God even through the writing of his crime novels.
