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

Folks, welcome to the Eric Mattaxas show.

Remember Pat Boone from the 50s?

From last week, he's my guest right now.

Pat, I wanted to continue talking to you on different subjects than we were covering the last time we were together.

You said to me that you had been doing some Bible reading this morning and it related to where we are today and our culture and history.

So tell us about that.

Well, let me just make everybody aware of something.

This is called the one-year Bible.

Now, I've written a song and I've written a book which are yet to be released.

But the book particularly is called If, and I would not let the publisher put anything on the cover about it being religious in any way.

Because the book I've written is if, and the if is heaven or hell?

Are you going to go to heaven when you leave this life

are you going to go to hell there's only two choices whether you believe it or not the

bible says so and and most people don't know so they just shrug it off but i'm i've written a book

and my concern these days is for according according to the polls, the 150 million

or more people who, according to these Gallup and other polls, say they don't go to church

or synagogue.

They don't go to any religious services.

They may or may not pray now and then, if ever.

They don't know if there's a God.

And if there is a God, they just hope that maybe if there is an afterlife, that they'll luck their way into it by being, quote,
