Welcome to the Eric Mettaxas show with your host, Eric Mettaxas.

Hey there, folks. Do you know what this is?

This is the time of the week when we do a segment that we like to call Ask Metaxus. I play the role of Metaxes. I'm really the best we could do for that role. So we're just going to go with it. I'm going to play the role of Metaxes. And you get to ask the questions. And, Albin, you're the, you're going to be the mouthpiece

for the people that have written in with their good questions.

By the way, you look fetching today. Fetching.

Actually, fetching sounds sexual, so we're going to edit that out in post, man.

Let's keep going.

Thank you very much.

Question number one. What will you write in 2002? What will you write? Eric Mettaxas. What will I write? Yes. I think people assume that I write a book a year. Yeah. That would be a bad assumption. You wrote two last year. I didn't write two last year. No, they came out. They were published last year. I essentially wrote them in the previous year. But writing a book a year is not a great

idea for one's mental health. But I don't think I will publish a major book this year. The year has

already started. So even if I had a book now and I said to a publisher, hey, here's the book. Let's go.

They'd be like, man, we can't get this out until 20, 23.

And by the way, that was a brilliant impression of most publishers.

It was.

They say, yeah, because we've got issues with printing in China and paper and stuff.

Actually, in all seriousness, this year, I'm going to spend most of the year talking about my book, Is Atheism Dead? I continue to be hugely excited about that book for many reasons. I want to get the word out about that. And also, I believe this year, my book Fish Out of Water, which is the memoir of my life until I came to faith and became the Jesus freak that you now know me to be.

That book will come out this year in paperback.

And the paperback, the cover of the paperback, it's this glorious blue with a picture of a fish jumping out of a fish bowl because I've seen it.

It is so attractive, people will buy it just for the cover.

And then they will read it and they will like what's inside it.

But the cover alone, it's so glorious.

So that's coming out in paperback.
