Hello my friends and welcome to the Robcast. This is episode 142. This is the thing in the air, part four.

And I want to give you an introduction to third way. And if you hear any interesting noises on this

episode, there's a dog here in the back house with me and then there is a seven-year-old girl who

happens to be our daughter and she is hanging on silks. You know, like Cirque Soleil, those strips of

silk that hang from the ceiling. So she is behind me and up above me close to the ceiling.

And so just want to stay up front. Any interesting noises, it could be any one of several things. Now,

I want to share with you an idea that has profoundly impacted how, well actually how I see everything.

And when I first came across it and was introduced to it, I was just like, oh my word, this would

change the world. And every time I get to share it with people, it's so interesting how many people

say that's like one of the best ideas ever. And so I want to introduce you to third way. But before

we do that, I don't I guess it's an announcement. And it's funny because this knowing this episode

was coming and that I would get to make this announcement at some point in the future. Now it's here.

So I have a new book coming out and it comes out on May 16th and it's called What Is the Bible?

How an ancient library of poems, letters, and stories can transform the way you think and feel

about everything. So when you put out a book, like at the publisher, probably a year before the

release date, everything really gets cranky and it takes about a year to just not even writing the

book, but just all of the groundwork that needs to be laid for a good launch. So one of the first

questions I always ask is, okay, when does the book come out? And then when do we first let people

know that the book is coming? And for me, the way that I tell people what I'm up to is first and

foremost through the Robcast. So I have had this first Robcast episode in March in my head for quite

a while now as the episode I would get to tell you that a book is coming, which is like a really big deal.

This book was interesting because I noticed over the years, I mean, I've been giving sermons
