“I recently had the privilege of spending the day with Dr. Evans in my car. Unbelievable! It was like having Francis Schaeffer, C.S. Lewis, and J.I. Packer riding around with me all day long. I have no doubt that Dr. Evans is quickly becoming evangelicalism’s foremost thinker, writer, and spokesperson. He will soon be recognized as the one who picked up where some of the greatest figures in Christianity left off.”
