Nathan Apfel admits he almost wrote off Russell's book the second he heard the title, expecting it to be exactly the kind of thing he'd usually roll his eyes at. Instead he found himself completely won over, especially by Russell's breakdown of Christ's final words on the cross, "it is finished," a phrase Russell says he couldn't bring himself to fully believe for 35 years. The conversation deepens from there, touching on the false identity Russell says he spent his whole life building, a golden calf he calls it, and the moment it all came crashing down at the exact same time his infant son was undergoing open heart surgery. A genuinely moving conversation about doubt, belief, and what actually matters when everything else falls away.
