I had the privilege of meeting Dr. Brad East last fall at a meeting hosted by @CT, and I knew it was finally time to move his award-winning book, Letters to a Future Saint, to the front of the queue. I’m glad I did!
Brad and I had a lively conversation about the careful and accessible approach he took to writing Letters to a Future Saint. One friend has called it Mere Christianity in the form of The Screwtape Letters, and that sounds right to me.
If you’re looking for a great primer on the Christian faith for yourself, your older children, your students, your newly baptized friend, I strongly recommend this one.
And stay tuned for Brad’s forthcoming book on technology, which is aimed at pastors and church leaders. Of course I had to ask Brad, at the conclusion of our conversation, if smartphones belong in the sanctuary. You’ll have to listen/watch to learn his answer!
