We had an amazing Launch Party for the premier of my first book, Rethinking Rest! Over 50 people showed up at the IKE Box Cafe in Salem, OR.
I signed books, read excerpts, and told stories about how it all came together.
Rethinking Rest is available
on Amazon
or wherever you buy your books!









I’m Greg Hall and you’ve landed at the “Rethinking Scripture” website where we like to rethink what we thought we already knew about the Bible.
The Rethinking Scripture books, podcast, projects, and studies are all designed to introduce you to new insights in biblical theology.
