The Bible is one of the most influential books in human history, and we only have to look as far as our everyday language to see proof. Amen to That! compiles dozens of words and phrases that we use in our day-to-day lives, illuminating their biblical origin; when they first entered the common vernacular; and how the usage has changed over the centuries. Whether you “give someone the evil eye” when you're angry, “harden your heart” against disappointment, or follow “the straight and narrow,” you'll love learning about the fascinating ways the Bible has influenced our language.
