The Bible from 30,000 Feet, Part 2
On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson continues his insightful conversation with Pastor Skip Heitzig, author of The Bible from 30,000 Feet. They explain why we can believe in the authenticity of God's Word and identify why it is a cohesive narrative from Genesis to Revelation. With a desire to inspire Christians to “sink their teeth” into God’s Word, Pastor Heitzig shares with Dr. Dobson, “A day without reading the Bible is a lost day for me. It's a wasted day!” Psalm 139:1-2 says, “You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.”
