Series: The Dearest Place on Earth
Michael White
2 Timothy 3:16
16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
Aj Jacobs is a well known journalist who calls himself a human ginuea pig. He writes books that record what he learned from outrageous life experiments.

It was a NYT best seller and he became very successful. So he read the encyclopedia but it later hit him that there is a far more influential book- and that's the Bible
