Brian From talks with Left Behind co-author Jerry Jenkins and Dallas Theological Seminary president Dr. Mark Yarbrough about their new novel, The Battle for Heaven and Earth. The book retells Scripture’s opening chapters in narrative form, beginning before creation with Lucifer’s rebellion and a third of the angels cast out of heaven, then moving through creation and the fall, ending with God’s promise of a coming Redeemer. Mark explains how the story addresses the age-old question of evil’s origin, and how Scripture neither ignores nor overstates spiritual warfare. Jerry describes how they imagined plausible details around brief biblical passages while staying faithful to Scripture, and how fiction, like Jesus’ parables, can convey truth to seekers and skeptics. Mark shares his hope that readers will see the Bible as one continuous story and explore the book’s companion videos, soundtrack, and small-group resources at thebattleforheavenandearthbook.com. Jerry admits he found himself relating not only to Michael and Gabriel, but even to Lucifer’s pride.

The idea of “the common good” has a rich history within the Christian church. It’s the notion that, as we pursue Jesus in our lives and in the lives of others, we are fulfilling God’s purposes for His creation. This pursuit can be messy. It means rolling up our sleeves and creating space for hard conversations about real issues that impact our lives. Things like parenting, marriage, finances, politics, art, and culture. On The Common Good, Brian From creates space to have these conversations, to sit with the big questions that we all have, to sometimes disagree, but to always look for the chance to create common good, by following after Jesus. Brian welcome listeners to join them in these conversations, to bring their own questions, hopes, and struggles, and to ultimately share in a journey to see God’s design for all of us fulfilled.
