When I was writing HOW WE FIGHT FOR OUR LIVES, I privately debated leaving some chapters out. I thought writing about kids asking me if I was saved at the lunch table or my private panic about Matthew Shepard would be too dated to be relevant to readers by the time the book came out in 2019. ALAS.

something I've been noodling for a few days is why there are two sections in Barnes and Noble: 'Religion' and 'Bibles'. The 'Bible' section was two entire bookshelves! Wide! How many different interpretations are out there and perceived as the actual word of god?
