He wants us to color this world by shining light on every part. Our mission is to color the entire world. In this audiobook, we’ll explore how God is like a box of crayons, by looking at the colors that are inside of the box.

He strived for a continuity of language between the words we use in Bible studies and the words we use when we are out hiking, at work, or eating dinner with family. He illustrated this passion in his writings and weekly sermons. A Month of Sundays is a devotional collection featuring excerpts of Eugene's Sunday sermons arranged into thoughtful readings for every day of the month, drawn from the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
