Product Description

A bunch of ideas are running around Don Everts's head. Some are permanent residents. Others are visitors, just passing through. When they all get together, some odd things start happening.

In this visit to Don's head, we meet THE OLD MAN. This short, wrinkled fellow has been living here for a long time, and he has a story to tell about the big, black Bible clutched in his skinny arms. But some other ideas, like YOUTHFUL CYNICISM, SOURCE CRITICISM and POWER ALWAYS CORRUPTS have some serious questions about whether THE OLD MAN should stay or go. Why should anyone bother with THE OLD MAN's story in these enlightened times? Can we really believe that he or anybody else has an actual Sentence from God?

If you've been visited by THE CHURCH IS BANKRUPT (AND HAS HURT ME) or PERSPECTIVE IS EVERYTHING, you might not be so sure about THE OLD MAN's story. Then again, he's been around for a while. Go ahead, listen in on the conversation and pepper him with questions. He doesn't mind getting grilled.

For readers wondering how an old religious text like the Bible can say anything relevant to us today.

I like it.4
What is like when conflicting ideas become people with personalities and talk about one of (if not the) most debated about books in history?

Well...you get to find out in this guy's "Musing About the Bible" which is not one of your typical apologetics books. This book brought clarity for me personally of why the Bible is relevant today and always amidst the arguments brought against its validity.

You will enjoy this short, gem of a work.

A Very Creative Read5
Don Everts is a masterfully creative writer and this book--in fact the whole "One Guys Head Series"--handles postmodern apologetics unlike anything I've read. I highly recommend these books and anything else Don has written for that matter. You won't be disappointed.
