Synopsis

Can you trust the Bible? All of it?

I wrote this book after a funeral in Pensacola. A 19-year-old had been killed by a drunk driver, and the little chapel was packed with young people hearing the unfiltered Word of God for the first time. They didn't need to be told to be a good person, or that everyone gets to heaven by a different road, or to just believe and it will all work out. They needed the real thing, and they leaned in like no crowd I'd seen in twenty years of pastoring.

That day convinced me: people don't need trinkets and platitudes. They need to know the Bible can be trusted, every word of it. The miracles, the hard parts, the places that seem to contradict. That conviction has a name, biblical inerrancy, and whether Christians hold onto it or let it go is the question the Church will stand or fall on.

Because once you start picking and choosing, where does it stop? Cafeteria Christianity always ends up with an empty tray.

What you'll find:
* Ten short chapters you can read in an afternoon
* Why the churches that loosened their grip on Scripture kept loosening until nothing was left, and what that history warns us about
* A plain-English explanation of what inerrancy means and what it doesn't
* A frequently-asked-questions section for the objections you've already heard

I've pastored at The Center for Executive Leadership in Birmingham since 2012 and taught Scripture at Birmingham Theological Seminary. I grew up singing "Jesus loves me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so." I still believe the second half of that line is what holds up the first.

You better learn this word.
