Review Quotes:
"Wright's For Everyone series is a gift that feels like lucking into some time on your front porch, sitting at a bar or walking in the park with an old friend who happens to know all there is to know about the Bible, and who understands plain folks who are curious, and eager for anecdotes, observations, stories and fresh insights - and how complex scholarship matters in real life" - James Howell, Senior Pastor, Myers Park United Methodist Church
