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.”

The Bible from 30,000 Feet, Part 1

Having grown up in a Catholic home, Skip Heitzig wasn’t aware he could have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. So, when he sat down to watch Rev. Billy Graham preach on TV in 1973, God convicted him of his sin and he became a follower of the Lord. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. James Dobson interviews Pastor Heitzig of Calvary Church in Albuquerque, New Mexico about his testimony and book entitled The Bible From 30,000 Feet. Taking the acronym FLIGHT, Skip’s book explores the Facts, Landmarks, Itinerary, Gospel, History, and Travel Tips of all 66 books in 52 chapters. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
