Well, hello everyone, I'm James Dobson and you're listening to another episode of Family Talk.

My guess is my much loved friend, Dr. RT Kendall, who has been led by the Holy Spirit,

I believe, to write a book that seems to have been written for this time and place.

It's titled, We've Never Been This Way Before.

The subtitle is Trusting God in Unprecedented Times.

Let me introduce Dr. Kendall to you, although he's been a guest many times on Family Talk

and earlier on Focus on the Family, I think at least 20 times or more through the years.

I met Dr. Kendall in London in 1992, where I had gone to work on a book that became known

as when God doesn't make sense.

He was then Senior Pastor of Westminster Chapel, where he eventually served for 25 years.

The church was located just a few blocks from Buckingham Palace in the heart of London.

We attended that historic church while we were there and we developed a fast friendship

with Dr. and Mrs. Kendall.

He's a scholar who holds a PhD from Oxford University and many other advanced degrees.

He's written 60 books, or probably more than that by now, and many of them have been best

sellers.

So with that, welcome Dr. RT Kendall to our program.

Thank you.

You've now released this new book that deals with going through hard times.

It's an interesting title we've never been this way before, trusting God in unprecedented

times.

I want you to start by telling us how in the world you came to write a book on this subject
