HOW DO YOU CHOOSE A BIBLE?

01/22/21 • 55 min

Episode 6 of Season 2 deals with one of Kelly's favorite subjects: the Bible! As a self-confessed 'Bible nerd', Kelly admits to owning her own Bible collection and to loving various translations she's owned throughout her life, which all seemed to come along at just the right time! In this episode, she reveals the best method to choose the right Bible for you, at the right time of your life, and even suggests making the journey easier by using The Bible Project Plan (link below).

Part 2 of today's episode is our Political Talk discussion, and here Susan defines the terms 'conservative' and 'liberal' (as they would define themselves) and explains what each wants and tries to achieve. Don't miss it!

Israel and the EXODUS by Leon Uris, Plus Things You Won't Believe About US Politics

Today's TALK JAM episode features Susan telling a story (again!)... this time about the battle of the Exodus (a barely-seaworthy boat) to bring concentration-camp survivors and their families to what was then Palestine (later the state of Israel) in 1947, at a time when the British ruled over Palestine and bent over backwards to accommodate the Arabs in the region... This incredible battle, documented in Leon Uris's epic novel EXODUS, finally broke the British policy to keep survivors behind barbed wire in refugee camps and led, inexorably, to the founding of a new (old) nation.

The novel EXODUS also led to a major defamation suit by a man mentioned in the book as having performed medical experiments in the camps on prisoners. This great story of THEIR epic battle, which could have destroyed Uris's career, is chronicled in Leon Uris's QBVII (Queen's Bench VII), where the case was argued. Both novels are incredibly good reading; find them and read them if you can!!

Our Political Talk today discusses the meaning of the word 'coattails' in political terms--what does it mean, how do politicians use it, and is it really helpful? Also a quick history lesson on the only President (Zachary Taylor) who refused to be sworn in on a Sunday, and how a politician whose term had expired MAY have been president for 24 hours; and a brief take on a new Congresswoman from Florida, who will have a special flag outside her office door...

THE CARE & FEEDING OF A BASEBALL MAN / THE LAST DAYS OF JOHN LENNON BOOK REVIEW

Episode 7 of Season 2 is a real treat! Today we're interviewing Scott Templeton, a young man with a big future--he's just won a baseball scholarship to Newberry College in South Carolina, and he'll be pitching for them next fall!

We discuss with Scott how wanting to be 'a baseball man' when he was young has led to his devoting years to training, playing and preparing for his next steps--even to spending a summer training with his school football team... just so he could play baseball better!

We especially loved Scott's appreciation for the men in his life--from his father to his coaches--who poured into him with their knowledge and skills--to make him the incredible young man he is today.

Our second (short) segment is a discussion of a brand-new book that Kelly just finished reading--THE LAST DAYS OF JOHN LENNON by James Patterson, which made a profound effect on her understanding of the man--and the band--whose short lifetime was almost over by the time she knew who they were. I'll definitely be reading this book!
