My new book, 15 New Testament Words of Life (Zondervan Academic)<\/a><\/strong> is coming out in about six weeks. I have partnered with Zondervan to offer some fun \u201cperks\u201d for those who preorder the book (from whatever bookstore\/website they prefer). See below.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you navigate to the official webpage for\u00a015 New Testament Words of Life<\/em><\/a> you can find all kinds of information about the book and myself. One nice feature is a set of \u201cperks\u201d for anyone who preorders the book (you can choose whatever purchase website you like.)<\/p>\n

Once you enter your information, you get two special documents (pdf).<\/p>\n

Book chapter sample<\/a>:\u00a0<\/strong>you can immediately download my first main chapter, on the theological meaning of the word \u201cRighteousness.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Making of\u2026\u201d<\/a>:\u00a0<\/strong>I also created a special short essay where I talk about some of the processes I went through in making the book.<\/p>\n

Here is my preface to the mini-essay:<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I was growing up, I used to love watching featurettes that talked about the stunts, special effects, and \u201cthe making of\u2026\u201d the movies I loved. I enjoyed getting a peek behind the curtain of how films are created, moving backwards from the final product to the stages, techniques, and \u201ctricks\u201d that made it all happen. So, I thought it would be fun to offer a sneak peek into how an idea becomes a book.<\/em><\/p>\n
