79: Bible verses
Thank you for reading “A Sharp Knife Is Safer.” In return for your patience with this project, I’m giving you a 20% discount: Next week I end this series at 80 versions. Longer, honestly, than I expected to last.
Next year, who knows what I’ll put in my newsletter? Five versions of a rock song? Writing about writing? Audio drama recs? Yes!
