My New Book & Documentary Are Now Available!

An Epic Timeline

Today’s the day — release day for my new book and 10-episode travel documentary! Epic: An Around-the-World Journey through Christian History is both a book and a documentary series that charts my journey around the world and through the ages. Touching more than 20 countries across 6 continents, you can travel the world with me to see the great big story God has been telling over the past 2,000 years.

My teenaged girls may be moderately biased, but they said this: “It’s good, daddy. It makes history interesting and uncomplicated.” And, as it happens, that is exactly what I had hoped to accomplish. This is not just history told for the sake of those who love history, but also for those who don’t! The book is beautifully-illustrated and full of photographs; the documentary captures footage of some of the most interesting and stunning locations in the world. The two products are complementary—neither one depends on the other, so you’ll get a great experience whether you choose to get one or both.

    New and Notable Christian Books for April 2025

    It is surprisingly difficult to find a list of Christian books that have been released in any given month—especially if you want that list to be filtered by books released through particular publishers. That’s one of the reasons why I close each month by coming up with my list of New and Notable books. I…
