Even though as Christians we affirm the reality of the spiritual realm, sometimes we succumb to naturalistic assumptions that what we see is real and what we don’t see isn’t. 

In The Goodness of God, I tell the story about my high school friend Greg Coffey, who died in a horrible accident in 1971, shortly after he and I both became Christ-followers.

A man working with one of our ministry partners in the Middle East recently attended a men’s conference in a closed country, and shared this video with us. He writes, “While I was at the conference, I was again deeply encouraged by how God is working. And I was moved to see the deep hunger to study God's word. As I sat next to one young leader during a discussion, I noticed his Bible. It is perhaps the most beautiful Bible I've seen. I took a short video which I have attached here for you... It’s just a few seconds long and I believe you'll be encouraged to see it.” Learn more about this ministry at www.elam.com.
