Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 I took an approach that would help us solve the crime and prosecute the killer. I suspected that something terrible had happened to Tammy the day she vanished. If she was killed, an explosion of anger occurred in that moment.
#2 The fuse and the fallout of a bomb are the result of a hostile sequence of events that preceded them. The fuse reveals any growing anger between the two parties, while the fallout reveals any planning or preparatory steps that were taken.
#3 The more significant the crime, the longer the fuse. Lesser crimes are easier to overlook and involve less fallout. The more tragic the crime, the more significant the fallout.
#4 I began collecting books about the history of Jesus and the early church, and I donated them to libraries, ministries, and students. I no longer have the books I bought in Longview, but they helped me examine the case for Jesus as though I was investigating a no-body homicide.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

I took an approach that would help us solve the crime and prosecute the killer. I suspected that something terrible had happened to Tammy the day she vanished. If she was killed, an explosion of anger occurred in that moment.

#2

The fuse and the fallout of a bomb are the result of a hostile sequence of events that preceded them. The fuse reveals any growing anger between the two parties, while the fallout reveals any planning or preparatory steps that were taken.

#3

The more significant the crime, the longer the fuse. Lesser crimes are easier to overlook and involve less fallout. The more tragic the crime, the more significant the fallout.

#4

I began collecting books about the history of Jesus and the early church, and I donated them to libraries, ministries, and students. I no longer have the books I bought in Longview, but they helped me examine the case for Jesus as though I was investigating a no-body homicide.

#5

If Jesus was the person the pastor described, I would expect the fuse to be long. Impactful events typically have longer fuses. The events leading up to the appearance of Jesus should span centuries if he was the divine person the pastor claimed.

#6

I began studying and taking notes on Jesus, and as I did, I developed a different morning routine. I spent nearly as many hours investigating Jesus off duty as I did investigating Steve on duty.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

After interviewing Michelle, we were able to confirm that Steve had been having an affair behind his wife’s back. He had moved this Charley girl into his house within two weeks of Tammy’s disappearance.

#2

I asked Michelle why she didn’t report any of this when it happened. She said she didn’t want to believe Tammy was dead, and she wasn’t sure what happened. She just knew that something happened. She didn’t want to believe Steve would hurt her sister.

#3

The culture in which Steve was living contributed to the fuse that burned toward Tammy’s disappearance. His friends created an environment that encouraged the formation of an extramarital relationship, and the texting technology played a role in his developing relationship with Charley.

#4

I was trying to figure out why Jesus appeared when he did. If Jesus is God, he could have come whenever he wanted. But if he’s not God, it doesn’t matter when he arrives.

#5

The first and most ancient forms of writing are called pictographs, and they were used to describe simple topics that could be easily communicated with visual symbols. But the Egyptians developed a more advanced form of writing called cuneiform, which allowed them to communicate concepts by adding phonograms to the communication palette.

#6

The world was still waiting for a true alphabet. The Greeks, for example, added vowels to make their twenty-seven-letter version of the alphabet, and for the first time, differences between words like sad and said were understood.

#7

The Roman Empire began in 753 BCE when Romulus and Remus, the twin sons of the war god, Mars, defeated the king of Alba Longa and founded Rome. By 149 BCE, Rome controlled Sicily, the western Mediterranean, and a large portion of Spain.

#8

The Roman Empire, led by Augustus, unified much of the Western world and brought about a period of peace known as the Pax Romana. This allowed Jews living in cities like Jerusalem to retain their culture and customs, so long as they paid a tax and obeyed the Roman laws.
