Your Psalms Stories – Request from David Van Biema

Posted by Nathan Bierma

We were delighted to have David Van Biema, whose religion reporting you’ve probably read in Time magazine, with us at Symposium 2010. If you attended you may have seen the below request on a flyer. Please note that as David explains, if you responded to this request at or just after Symposium, you’re asked to respond again.

Thanks in advance!
