James Watkins has taken several hundred bits of trivia and related them to timeless truth from God's Word in this unique devotional book. You will learn about self-worth from dwarf throwing. The secret to Christian living through the real story of vampires and learn about God's peace from The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. and you will find real help in the categories of love, self-worth, emotional ups and downs, spritual growth, the future, relationships, and more.
