Episode Details

It’s time for the quarterly books episode of The Russell Moore Show! 

On this episode, Russell shares the books on his desert island bookshelf. He and producer Ashley Hales discuss what it takes for a title to belong on that shelf. They consider the power of finding a book for a specific season and how such reads take root in our hearts. Their conversation spans genres and generations as they talk about books that range from centuries old to just published.
