Ron Birksmith is a retired minister. During his years of leadership and service, Ron was asked a lot of questions.

Tough questions. Provocative questions. The sort of difficult questions which people ask ministers about the Bible, God, Jesus and everything in between.

Ron kept the questions in a box. For years, he filled his box. Along the way, he also added answers he had discovered or arrived at.

As Ron told Hope Mornings, he opened the box during the enforced solitude of the pandemic lockdowns.

Out of the box and its insights has come Wot 4 & Y?, an everyday apologetics book for anyone with big, important questions.
