Part of what I love most about research is the stunning discoveries that come with every project. I never dreamed high-priest Jehoiada was in his mid-nineties when he married 16-year-old Jehosheba.

I’m often asked how I get my book topic ideas. Why would I tackle the depressing book of Job in Love Amid the Ashes?
