RUSH: Hey, folks, I beg your indulgence here for just a brief moment. I want to talk about my brother\u2019s new book, and, if I don\u2019t make time to do it, there isn\u2019t gonna be a good time. I don\u2019t want to… (sigh) There isn\u2019t gonna be a time to break topic for the next three or four days, and his book just came out, and I want to — if you\u2019ll indulge me — just tell you a little bit about it. It\u2019s called Jesus Is Risen, and it\u2019s about Paul and the early church<\/a>. And it\u2019s now available anywhere you get books. It\u2019s on Amazon. It\u2019s at Apple, iBooks, Barnes & Noble. There\u2019s an e-book version and all that.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, my brother is devout. He is a devout Christian and is an evangelist in the sense that he spreads the Word. He wants everybody to know it, to understand Christianity, and it\u2019d be great in his opinion if everybody accepted it because it would make for a much better culture and society. So what he\u2019s done… He knows the Bible is an intimidating thing to read for people who haven\u2019t read it. There\u2019s the Old Testament and New Testament, and where do you start?<\/p>\n

And then which version do you get to even be able to understand what you\u2019re reading? And how do you follow it and so forth? So what he\u2019s done in this book and a couple previous ones is almost like a primer. It is his telling of some of the key elements and stories of the Bible to whet your appetite for it, to make you curious, to get you interested in wanting to read the Bible. Every devout Christian thinks the Bible is the key, and the more people that read it and understand obviously the better.<\/p>\n

Now, Christianity was originally confined to a very small circle of people in Jerusalem, and it went from a small, little movement to the world\u2019s most popular religion. And it is a fascinating story how that happened, which he attempts to explain in the book. It\u2019s called Jesus Is Risen<\/a>, and it\u2019s about the birth of Christianity using the Book of Acts. It\u2019s all in the Book of Acts, folks. I mean, when I say, “It\u2019s all there,” it is. I mean, it\u2019s not a substitute for reading the Bible, but the Book of Acts, it\u2019s all there.<\/p>\n

So he uses the Book of Acts, and six New Testament epistles as the introductory guide here to get people who want to read the Bible but are intimidated by it to actually get started doing it. So it\u2019s sort of a primer that when you finish this book and start the Bible, you\u2019ll have a head start, and you\u2019ll be more likely to stay with it. It details the suffering and the sorrow, the joys and the triumphs of the apostles and all of the key figures in Christianity following the death and resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

Which, if the resurrection doesn\u2019t happen, then Christianity doesn\u2019t exist. And that\u2019s one of the toughest things to make people believe. How in the world that…? You can\u2019t physically put your arms around that, resurrection from the dead. But it\u2019s a key element of Christianity. It\u2019s one of the big stumbling blocks that people have. I can\u2019t even imagine that. I mean, I heard (I don\u2019t want to mention any names) a liberal talk show host really berating a Christian. “Do you really believe that? That can\u2019t be! That\u2019s why you people are nuts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“You can\u2019t really think that somebody died and came back to life. That\u2019s why people think you\u2019re crazy!” Well, for Christianity to be what it is, that had to happen. And my brother, David, is devoted to helping people believe that it happened by accepting what\u2019s in the Bible. But before you can accept what\u2019s in the Bible, you have to open it. Look, it\u2019s not simply a primer; it\u2019s its own story. It has its own telling of the tale. But it\u2019s designed to be sort of like an introduction to the Bible and to Christianity, both testaments.<\/p>\n

But this focuses on the Book of Acts because that\u2019s where it all is. Now, don\u2019t just read the Book of Acts and forget everything else, but it\u2019s all there in the Book of Acts. That\u2019s why David chose the Book of Acts to start. Again, I thank you for giving me the time to mention this. It would not be timely at any time in the next two or three days because of all the other news happening out there. But, again, it\u2019s Jesus Is Risen<\/a>. It just hit on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s been hovering around 13 to 19 on Amazon, and he\u2019s busy doing all of his interviews about the book now. He\u2019s had a bunch of them scheduled on Fox and he\u2019s been broomed because they can\u2019t leave the Kavanaugh story. So I thought I would do what I could here to help make people aware that the book is out. Jesus Is Risen by David Limbaugh<\/a> — and, believe me, I think it will serve its purpose if you have any interest at all in getting into this. It\u2019ll give you introductory how to do it, where to go, and not be intimidated by any of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
