Psalm 119: Charles Bridges

0:02 Looking at our world from a theological perspective. This is the Theology Central podcast making Theology Central. Good afternoon everyone. It is Tuesday, June the twenty fifth, twenty twenty four. It is currently one twenty six pm Central Time, and I am coming to you live from the Theology Central studio located right here in Abilene, Texas. Now for this podcast, I try to do a lot of different things. I try to throw a lot of variety out right. Sometimes I turn on the microphone and well, I'll try to give you a pop quiz. Sometimes I turn on the microphone just give you assignments.

0:46 Right. It may be because we're doing a Bible study exercise and I'll be you know, a Bible study exercise or something like that. I'm like, okay, look this up. Do this, use this Bible study method, do this, do a word study, whatever the case may be. Sometimes while I'm telling you, I'm turning on the microphone telling you to go listen to other people, you know, go listen to random sermons on the sermons two point oh app There's so many different things I try to do on the podcast, a lot of variety. I don't know if the average listener even notices all of the variety. I don't know if the average listener even cares. I mean, I look, it's easy to take what I mean, You've got so much content available to you. I don't even know how much the average listener really even pays attention to what a podcaster is attempting to do, right, I think as a podcaster, you can you can make yourself think you're more important than you really are, because the reality is, you're just another voice and an ocean of voices. You're just content, and an ocean of content and a universe of content. You're just a You're just like a little speck of sand, right, I mean, you're You're really not that significant, no matter how even no matter all the numbers, even if you have giant numbers, it really doesn't translate into actually being significant because a lot of people just tune in like they tune into anything else. They could take it or leave it. If it was to disappear tomorrow, they wouldn't even notice. And that's just the reality. So I don't know if people pay attention to all the different things I try to do, But I

2:21 do try a lot of different things. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Sometimes I like doing them. Sometimes I'm conflicted, and this is one of those broadcasts. I'm going to be somewhat conflicted because there are times that I just like to turn on the microphone really to provide you information. Say, hey, go check this out. Hey, this is now available, like the Charles Stanley Institute. That was more information I told everyone about it. There's different times I just kind of point you to resources or tell you about something, or hey, this book is out now. Sometimes I can find a way to provide some kind of teaching in it, but in many cases it's just turning on the microphone and providing information. I don't know if that's beneficial. I hope it is. But this is one of those cases that while I was checking my email inbox and while I received some information, I was somewhat confused by the information I received. So then I did a little bit of research. I'm like, wait a minute, maybe I should tell everyone about this so that they can choose which direction they want to go because they could possibly save a whole lot of money. Okay, so all right, so are you ready a little bit of information? Now many of you, I'm assumed, I assume have read the Bible, and so you're very familiar with Psalm one nineteen. Psalm one nineteen. This amazing psalm it is. I mean, we can look at it really quick, Psalm one

3:53 nineteen. I've done teaching on some one nineteen. I think my teaching on Some one nineteen was pretty decent. I could probably do better if I put forth the effort. Maybe at some point, maybe by the end of the summer, we'll make some one nineteen a focus for a couple of weeks. But Some one nineteen has one hundred and seventy six verses. Psalm one nineteen has one hundred and seventy six verses, So that makes it a very lengthy Psalm. But what's so fascinating about it is most believe that out of those one hundred and seventy six verses, the majority, almost maybe ninety eight ninety nine percent of them really point to are and they are about the Word of God. They are about the scriptures themselves, they're about the Law of God.

4:42 There's lots of different phrases used, but they're describing the Word of God. One hundred and seventy six verses talking about the Word of God. So there's been plenty of sermons on Psalm one nineteen, and lots of books written about Psalm one nineteen, and lots of commentaries on You should be familiar with many of them. But if a new one supposedly comes out, well, not really a new one, a new old one has supposedly made its return so that you can grab this classic book that I guess disappeared but is back. You may want to know about it, right, maybe, Well, here's what happened. Let me explain right. I received an email at twelve seventeen pm twelve seventeen pm today, June the twenty fifth, so a little over an hour ago. The subject line was Charles Bridges someone nineteen is back.

5:44 Wait, Charles Bridges some one nineteen is back now. Immediately I had to stop and go wait a minute, when did Charles Bridges someone nineteen ever go away? I must have missed this memo it Now, if you don't know who Charles Bridges is, we'll talk about it, but just just say Charles Bridges is an author of a commentary on Psalm one nineteen that is highly respected. Some may refer to it as a classic. So I'm like, well, wait a minute, when did his commentary go away? I thought it was always available. I'm like, I'm a little perplexed. Like I know, I have looked at Charles Bridges on Some one nineteen multiple times.

6:24 I don't know if I would ever even put it in my favorite I don't know. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. I would have to go back and look at it. It's been a while, but I just like, when did it go away? And who's bringing it back? So here's the information again. This was sent to me at twelve seventeen pm, June the twenty fifth. Again the subject line Charles Bridges Psalm one nineteen is back. And again I'm a little confused. This email comes to me from the Banner of Truth. Banner of Truth. Now, Banner of Truth puts out some amazing resources. Banner of Truth really focuses on pure books right. In fact, they have the famous Puritan paperbacks. If you can get a collection of those, I think everyone should have them. I don't remember how many is in the total set. It's a what thirty thirty five, I don't even remember twenty twenty five. At my church we've had most of the Puritan paperbacks in the library at different times. I think now most of them have disappeared and are gone. People take them and they never they never come back.

7:25 But that's okay. My joke is take the book as long as you're using it, I don't care if it ever comes back, right. So, because we've tried throughout the years of the church to try to provide as many resources in the library as possible. Now, if I'm just being painfully, painfully painfully honest and kind of blunt and rude, it really was an exercise in futility because if I take all the books that have been in the library and go tell you how many have actually ever been taken out of the library read or used. Most of the time it's me taking the books out of the library and using them. Would say ninety eight percent of the books have never even been touched, okay, which once again goes back to content.

8:07 You've got so much available, why do you need it there? And it's kind of sad. It's kind of sad, Like you know, I'm kind of wish there would be someone like, hey, you've got a library your church, nobody's using it. I'll come get all the books, Come get them all. You can have the bookshelves. You can have every single book and the library you can have everything that's there, okay and not And some of the books we have in the library we would strongly disagree with. But we have them there for resource or research purposes and for people to could we can really you know, we can refer to them at any time. But for the most part they've just been I mean, I don't think it. I don't think there's any way to get around it. They have not been utilized very well. I think at one time we even had all we had lots of books by Banner of Truth published by Banner of Truth. But I think at one time we even had a Charles bridges En some one nineteen commentary in the library. So it's currently gone on, but I I I'm pretty sure it's there. We've had the fun of the Fundamentals. I've talked about those four volume that four volume set forever, and you've heard me in sermon after sermon after sermon after sermon after sermon after sermon after sermon. Tell everyone in my church read the Fundamentals, Read the Fundamentals, read them read.

9:18 And yet those four books still sit at the table behind the pulpit, and they have yet to ever be borrowed for used. So I don't know what does that tell you. I don't know. I don't know what that tells you. But char the banner of truth that if you can get the Puritan paperbacks, I think they're well worth it. Do I agree with everything the Puritans did? Obviously? Not? Okay? I mean you know how much I love Salem, Massachusetts? Right, That's that's a good example. If we're purit Puritism didn't even follow their own rules. Okay, they lost their minds, Okay, they they just went absolutely crazy. We could talk about how Puritan puritan got everything wrong and Salem, okay, but I am always fascinated. I've always had a On one hand, I've always been defensive of the Puritans because I think they're misrepresented. In many cases, there's always kind of like a you know, Puritan. You know, when you talk about the Puritans or your Puritanical view on purity or whatever the case may be, it's always stated almost as a something negative. Right, It's not like a Puritan or Puritanism is not necessarily stated as something good. We can talk about Puritans in there, dislike for Christmas all right, wait, we can do we can do a lot of discussion about But I've always been like, in some ways want to defend them because I feel like people misrepresent them.

10:45 And there used to be a magazine called Christian History that I used to subscribe to. I loved that magazine, and they dedicated an entire issue to the Puritans and Puritanism, and I loved it because it was a lot like they had an entire, like two pay age layout of all the misconceptions and myths about the Puritans, and I loved that. That always gave me an ability to somewhat try to defend them. But on the other hand, a lot of thing about the Puritans that I very much dislike. So I can find myself defending them, and then I can find myself criticizing them, especially when it comes to Salem, Massachusetts and the witch trials. I have some very negative feelings about how things went down there. At the same time, the more you kind of understand what had been happening in Salem and how you know, there had been a lot of people dying because of disease and a lot of you can kind of see that there was maybe just a great amount of fear and concern, and especially if you have in your mindset that if bad things are happening, it's Satan, and if good things are happening, it's God. We can get into a whole discussion right there, but the say all of bad, right, Just trying to add a little bit, Remember I said this is going to be, you know, just kind of providing information here, one of those episodes where I feel like I may not be accomplishing much, but so I'll try to throw in a little extra there.

12:11 But the point is is I think every Christian should be very familiar with the Puritans. I mean, it's a very important part of church history, their theology, their writings, and the one things about the Puritans not only did they write a lot. Now, now the difficult thing about it, they wrote a lot, but sometimes they were ways so wordy that it makes it very difficult. One of my great regrets, one of my I feel like my great failures right as a broadcaster as a teacher, is I have yet to ever be able to really take the Christian in complete armor right this classic Puritan book dealing with spiritual warfare. I have never been able to act to really find a way to teach it in a way that's beneficial. I've owned The Christian and Complete Armor and so many different sets, so many different like the full work, the works that were kind of edited down to make it easier, modernized, original language, everything. And I have attempted multiple times to turn on a microphone and try to teach through it, and I fell miserably. The way it is written, the verbiage. There's words that I'm like, wait a minute, what in the world are they talking about?

13:35 At times, and it's just it. I can read it, but it's very different than sitting there in a microphone trying to go, okay, well all right they use this word, well, this word means like you've got to do hours of really prep work to try to kind of just say here's the section and here's the specific thing. We're not going to read all of it. And a lot of times I'd just like to work through the book word for words. So I still regret that I would. I wish one day I could, you know, find a way to accomplish that. And if I remember correctly, I believe the Christian in Complete Armor. I think it's published by Benner of Truth. I could be wrong. I'm looking around the room to see if I have a copy anywhere. They may be in the church library, but I know I have the volume somewhere because I have attempted multiple times and every time it just fails miserably. So it's one of those like maybe before I die, I can do something meaningful and tangible with that series of books. But the point is that's the Puritans. Banner of Truth puts out Puritan books. Okay, So there's a little bit about it now. So under the heading is Charles Bridges some one nineteen is back again.

14:50 I never knew it departed, but okay, Charles Bridge. Charles Bridges wrote this a classic commentary on some one nineteen. The email comes to me from Banner of Truth Org. And then underneath that there's a picture of the book. It's the there's next to it. Unfortunately it looks like a pin versus a pencil. So you already know Banner of Truth it's heretical, okay, but it looks like a pin. Then there's the book right there some one nineteen an exposition Charles Bridges looks like a beautiful cover on it hardback. Right next to that that looks unfortunately a cup of coffee. I don't know who drinks coffee. You know, you're if you got a pin and coffee, you're just basically of Antichrist. If you've got both of thay was going on, pen and coffee, you just you know you you you cannot even be saved. Okay, all right? But there's the photograph and then underneath that it says someone nineteen back in stock. First published in eighteen twenty seven, when Charles Bridges was just thirty three years of age, This masterful exposition of Psalm one nineteen is worth its weight in gold. According to Charles Rolls Hadden Spurgeon, Bridges uses the Psalm, structured according to the letters of the Hebrew alphabet, to teach both the ABC of Christian experience and the maturity to which that experience must lead. That sounds pretty fascinating, right, How did

16:22 he structure it? What was he hoping to accomplish? Now the book originally is normally thirty five dollars. They currently have it in stock and they're selling it for twenty eight dollars. Now again, I was somewhat perplexed. Why is it back? It's always been it's always there. So if you go to Amazon dot com right now, and I don't want to take away any business from Banner of Truth, but a lot of people may have a hard time dropping basically with shipping and everything that's going to be over thirty dollars, you may have a hard time dropping over thirty dollars for this book. May have a hard time doing You may be like, man thirty bucks, I got this to pay or I got this to do. I got this to do so. But at the same time, it's a classic book that everyone should have access to right now. If I there were times in this podcast where I had far more money so we gave away books. So if it was up to me right now, I'd be doing a book giveaway and giving away copies of the book. But you know, I don't have the money to do so. Again, I always say, the more money that comes in, the more things I can do. But at this point in time, I don't have the ability to do that. So I went on Amazon dot com and I just typed in Charles Bridges some one nineteen immediately The first one that shows up an exposition of some one nineteen by Charles Bridges for the Kindle ninety nine cents for paperback eleven dollars and ninety five cents, and for

17:52 hardcover twenty seven dollars. So if you have a kindle, or even if you don't have a kindle, the kindle app you can actually have access to the book for ninety nine cents. If you go down. They have another version for the kendle for four dollars and ninety nine cents they have, and that one comes forty dollars for the hardcover. You can look down there they have another one exposition of Some one nineteen, a classic reprint and illustrative as illustrative of the character and exercise of Christian experience, paperback twenty five dollars. So they have it and a number of different formats and available in a lot of different ways. Here's Someone nineteen an exposition new edition. Well that one they don't have it. I'm sorry it's not available current. Well, no, they have it for if you want to buy a used copy for almost sixty dollars. So, I mean, some of these are just ridiculous, right, I mean, but you can get a copy of the book itself for relatively cheap. I would challenge you now if you want to support Banner of Truth and their work to constantly try to preserve and reprint and publish the works of the Puritans, then by all means buy it from Banner of Truth, because in a roundabout way, you're not like getting the book, but you're helping support them. All right, But if you want a copy of the book and you don't have thirty something dollars, go on Amazon dot com type in Charles Bridges Psalm one nineteen and you can get a copy and it's relatively cheap. In fact, I did just that. I think I have

19:23 a number of copies of it in my library. In fact, let me go to my kindle app. I'm going to the kindle app on my iPad, my actual kindles over there, charging because I need to finish a novel that I started a long time ago and I'm way behind on. But all right, but right, so here's the preface. All right, and see here what they have here. It looks like a lot of introductory material which would be beneficial. Okay, another they got all okay, And then here's part one. Blessed are the undefiled in the way who walk in the law of the Lord. This most interesting and instructive song like the Psalter itself opens with a beatitude for our comfort and encouragement, directing us immediately to that happiness which all mankind, in different ways are seeking and inquiring. After all would secure themselves from the incursions of misery, but all do not consider that misery is the offspring of sin, from which therefore it is necessary to be delivered and preserved in order to become happy or blessed. And actually, Charles Bridges, there is quoting from someone else, right, So but there's part one, and yeah, you should have a copy of it, and you should start looking at it and start reading it. If I go back to the email from Betner Oftruth dot org, this is what they say underneath it.

20:47 So then they have they have a picture of the book. They have that little paragraph that I've read to you. Then they have a picture of I'm assuming that, Charles Bridges. And then underneath that it says, and I quote, think what think, what good reason there is to love the law? It is the epistle of our most beloved friend, not to be slided, but to be placed and our bosom nearest, our hearts, Charles Bridges. Then they have some more pictures of the book. They have some more pictures of the book, and then they say what readers are saying. The first review comes from someone by the name of Beverly, and they say this, I have always understood that Someone nineteen is about the Word of God.

21:30 What I'm finding in Bridges is that it is about how the Christian experiences the Word of God, and about one hundred and seventy six ways. He finds the essence of a verse and shows the truth of it from many other scriptures, using illustrations where appropriate. He shows how the verse fits with the previous verse. He is very christ centered throughout, showing the necessity and effects of the Gospel on the Christian. Someone else their review is this is a very practical commentary. The author had deep union with God and deep understanding of his word. He had a New Testament perspective on the Psalm. His theology is evangelical. I have found helpful insights in this book, and I'm always amazed at the ability of Charles Bridges to find many connections of each verse with other Bible passages. This is the commentary which will never become out of date.

22:26 And then one other this book is wonderful. I've used it as a devotional reading and just read one verse a day. So good for the soul, very heartwarming, so better of truth. I guess it was out of print. I don't know it's back. Maybe they did not have any copies. I don't know it's back. I'm just perplexed that it's like it's back. It never went away. You can there are websites. I guarantee you there are websites where you can read Charles A. Bridge's commentary on Someone nineteen for free. I guarantee you there are. You can probably find a PDF version in five seconds. So it's kind of weird that they're saying it's back, you know. And again the subject line Charles Bridges, someone nineteen is back, and then underneath the picture of the book, someone nineteen back in stock.

23:12 So it's back in stock for bannerotruth dot org. But the book has always been present. And again, I want to on one end, I want to support Banner of Truth because I'm very grateful for them preserving and keeping and continuing to publish these classic books. I think you could probably go to monogism dot com. In fact, let me I think I think that's where I first got my copy of the book. Hang on, I'm going to monogism monogism dot com. Maybe if I could spell monogism. There we go monogism dot com. All right, and then you can see where do they have it here? U hang on? Start here? Okay, free books.

24:00 You should get the monogism dot com app if you can. But okay, here's free books. I'm just going to do a search. I'm going to type in some one nineteen. Yeah, here we go, exposition of some one nineteen E book. There it is. So you can download it in an EPUB format, a MBI format, or a PDF format and it's free. So there you have it. I mean, yeah, so you you can get the book for free if you want to go to monogism dot com and just type in some one nineteen and I think the first thing that shows up is Charles Bridge's Exposition of some one nineteen because it's such a classic book. So yeah, I mean, if you want to buy the one from Banner of Truth, it looks really really nice and it probably looks great.

24:52 And if you like a hardback coopy, then I would change order it from Banner of Truth and and help support them. But if you're just looking for the classic commentary on some one nineteen, then Charles Bridges. Now I'm doing this to inform you, to point you to the resource through in a little bit of information. But most likely then what I will do, I'll try to make it a priority. I'll try to pull some things from his commentary on some one nineteen and we'll use it either in a devotional message or we'll do it as a Oh, we could use some one nineteen for our sermon's two point zero app sermon challenge. We could do that. Well, we'll find a way to utilize it in some way, shape or form.

25:40 So find a copy of some of Charles Bridge's commentary on some one nineteen. If you cannot find a copy or you don't know what to do, email me Newsif at yahoo dot com, that's Newsif at Yahoo dot com. What I may do is I may send a link out in the Church one app. It's you know, the notices, they call them notices. It'll show up like a push notification. You'll get a notification on your device if you are you know, if you have the Church one app and you've made us theology central as your chosen broadcaster. It basically turns it into our app. So then I can send out a notice. I can send out a notice with a link to moneargism dot com and then you can just have a copy of the book for free. Now I'm not trying to take away the business from Better of Truth. But again, maybe you've got thirty dollars you can drop on a book. Maybe you do, And if you do, that's absolutely great, that's awesome. Give them your support. Okay, that's wonderful.

26:40 But if you don't, you still need to be able to have access to the book, right. I mean, if it's a classic book and it can help benefit you spiritually, then let's get it into your hands. And so I may send out that notice here in a little bit. But there you have it. That's Some one nineteen by Charles Bridges, famous famous book. You can read the introductory material within the book, and I think then you know, like I could offer some background information, but I mean all of it's right there. It's all right there, So I would basically be borrowing from it. I could basically read it to you, but you should read it for yourself. Does that sound good? And I see this is where I always end. I'm like, man, should I have done that broadcast? I didn't really do any teaching, But the goal here was not to teach. The goal was just to inform. So there you have it. If you do get emails from Banner of Truth, you've already seen that email today, and well you now know. And if anyone ever talks about some one nineteen, you can say, well have you read the commentary of some one nineteen? But Charles Bridges, now some people believe his approach is very unique. You can tell me what you think, you know what it's okay. I know this is going to come as a shock. Hey, come here, get get close to your speaker. Sometimes these books that everyone says is a classic and that they're so amazing, sometimes they're really not

28:11 that good. I said it. I know I'm not supposed to look the first time I came into this realization, I didn't know what to do because I kept being told by everyone my Utmost for His Highest, by as a Oswald Chambers. I believe my Utmost for His Highest that's the greatest devotional ever. You've got to get a copy. So I went to the Bible bookstore in Abilene, Texas bought a copy and after about five days of using it, I'm like, this is trash. This, this is horrible. First, his theology seems completely whacked. From the people suggesting it, I don't know why you suggested it, and I know I can't stand it. There's been a lot of times people like this is the classic book, and I'm like, uh, what is the deal? And sometimes I just don't understand.

28:59 I mean, everybody thinks Morning and Evening by Charles Hadden Spurgeon as the greatest devotional ever written. I'm sorry what he does to those scriptures. I mean, come on, man, and now, it's very poetic, it's he's very good with language, and he and it sounds very pious and spiritual. But you spend a year in Morning and Evening by Charles Haddon Spurgeon, I don't think you're gonna understand any of the verses he uses in his devotional material. I don't think you're gonna understand those verses at all. I know, I know i'm gonna be people are gonna yell at me, but I mean I've tried. I mean, there have been numerous times at the beginning of a year, i'd buy a notebook, a pencil, and a copy a hardback copy of Morning and Evening by Charles Headen Spurgeon. I'm like, I'm gonna go through this all year. Usually by the time I get to the end of January February, I'm already like I'm losing my mind. I'm like, this is insane. Charles Heddon Spurgeon do something with the actual verse.

29:57 You just take it into and oh, especially when it gets into the Song of Solomon, Oh my goodness, gracious, it's just like, what is this. Oh it drives me crazy. So it's okay. If you look at Charles Bridges and you're kind of like, I'm not so sure about this, that's okay. That's okay, it's okay. You won't lose rewards in heaven for being critical of what some people call is a Christian classic. I mean, this is a secret just between you and I, Okay, So you can't tell anybody else. My whole Christian life, I have been told over and over and over and over again that the Lord of the Rings is the greatest thing ever written. I have been told that over and over and over and over again, the Lord of the Rings is ultimate hot trash.

30:56 I would rather watch a dumpster fire than read The Lord of the Rings. It is trash. The movies were trash, the books are trash. I don't like anything. And I know you're like, oh, you can't say that. You can't say that because they act like The Lord of the Rings is like I don't know, right there next to the Trinity that it was inspired by God. And if you criticize it, then basically your Christianity is called into question. It's like, every Christian should read The Lord of the Rings because it's this beautiful Christian analogy and allegory. And you're like, come on, try to explain. Just stop, you're just throwing stuff in there. Oh just drives me absolutely mad. So hey, it's perfectly okay that if you look at Charles Bridges. Yeah, Charles Bridges, I was gonna say, Charles Hodge, Charles Bridges and his commentary and his exposition of someone nineteen, you may look at it and go, hmm, don't I don't get it. What's why is this book so praised by so many?

31:53 Or you may go, wow, that was amazing, because a lot of times what you like and dislike is very, very subjective. No, I think objectively, Lord of the Rings is a dumpster fire. But that's my own that's that's my own objective truth, right. I mean, well it's just true. Okay, I'm joking. I'm joking, but no, it can be very subjective. But I think sometimes we get caught up into this is this is the book. Everyone, Oh, oh, you've got to read that. You've got to read that. I don't how many times I've had Christian. It's usually Christian. Oh, you've got to read that. That's like the best. And then you read it and you're like, I can't even tell how many times I was told Matthew Henry's commentary, Matthew Henry's commentary, and I would go back to them, going, you you're this is like what this Everything he says in Isaiah or Ezekiel goes against everything you believe about Isaiah and Ezekiel. He doesn't believe that's Israel. He believes that's the Church. I mean, what do you do? You're you're premeal dispensationalist, and you're you think Matthew Henry is the greatest commentary ever written. Are you drinking something? I think a lot of times. What I have discovered is that people just they get oh, that's the book, and so they just continue to promote the book and they've never even actually read it. I don't know how many times in my Christian life somebody thought, hey, you've got to read this, and they hand me the book and I would come back going, you gave me this book to promote your KJV only belief.

33:19 This book contradicts you. But what are you doing? Or or as I got in trouble because my church in Nebraska kept handing out every quarter sermons by Charles Hadden Spurgeon, and so I picked them up and read every single word. And then when I started calling, when I started kind of moving towards a Calvinistic understanding of salvation, I almost got thrown out of the church. And I'm like, you were literally handing me the sermons by Charles heading Spurgeon that taught Calvinism, and now you're gonna throw someone out of the church. And then they were all like, wait, they did you handed them out? Did you not read them? So it's so weird how sometimes in Christianity, like some books just get elevated to like these are the books. Well, sometimes they're not as good as you tell me they are. And sometimes it's you haven't even read them yourself. Okay, So but Charles Bridges exposition of Some one nineteen, highly regarded, well respected, recommended by many.

34:23 Does it live up to the hype. Well, we'll probably do more discussing about it, But mainly I want you to go get a copy so that you can have a copy, and I want you to be able to get a copy up to your choice. You can get it from betteroftruth dot org. Support them, be about thirty something dollars for a hard back copy. Probably will look beautiful, awesome, will look great in your bookshelf and collection, probably will get years of use out of it, and by all means do that cause you can support them. But if you don't have thirty dollars, or you'd rather send me thirty dollars, I'm joking. I'm joking, you can get a copy of the book for free or for like ninety nine cents for your kindle. Right, so you find a copy, look at it, and then email me newsif at yahoo dot com, newsif at yahoo dot com. And here's what I want to know. It lives up to the hype or I don't get it. I don't really get it. I would love to know your thoughts. Thanks for listening everyone, Have a great day. This has been another informative episode of the Theology Central podcast.
