Tales of Forever: The Unfolding Drama of God’s Hidden Hand in History
“According to The Septuagint Bible, the period from Adam to Christ is 5,500 years, not 4,000 like in most modern Bibles. And that’s not just trivia. Smith argues that knowing that timeline is a key to understanding God’s faithfulness… Smith makes you feel like a detective, piecing together clues from lost texts and artifacts like The Ark of the Covenant, and instead of proving facts in the scientific sense, he wants the reader to reimagine, to see God’s hand even where the official story lost the thread…”

Fish Tales (From the Belly of the Whale): Fifty of the Greatest Misconceptions Ever Blamed on The Bible
“Smith takes aim at the idea that The Bible is a straightforward, easily understood book… But when you cherry-pick a single verse or only rely on tradition, you’ll always get something skewed, maybe even harmful… Smith’s says that, as readers, we carry a responsibility. We can’t just passively accept what sounds scriptural. We have to do the work… So the next time someone quotes The Bible, dig around, check the broader story, and see what you find…”

The Book of Days: In Search of the 5,500-year Prophecy Given to Adam About the Coming of Christ
“Did a 5,500-year prophecy, supposedly given to Adam, precisely foretell the coming of Christ?… Smith claims this timeline isn’t just some strange footnote; it was mainstream for the early church… For Smith, the 5,500-year prophecy isn’t just a number game. He sees it as proof that God is faithful, keeping promises across millennia…”

The Book of Tales: Stories That Confirm the 5,500-year Prophecy Given to Adam About the Coming of Christ
“If a timeline of 5,500 years from Adam to Christ is real, it means the Coming of Christ wasn’t just a lucky historical accident but a very deliberate fulfillment of God’s promise… Smith’s approach to this issue is unique. Instead of an academic treatise with lots of tables and dates, he transforms all this research into a grand, cosmic story…”

On Earth as It is On Heaven: The Promise of America, Technology, and the New Earth
“What if the promises made in The Bible aren’t just spiritual or metaphorical but are concrete and literal?… That’s where America comes in: Smith says, “Look, America isn’t an accident; it’s part of a long narrative…” The real danger, says Smith, is forgetting these connections. His antidote is remembering our roots, our promises…”

Conquering Cynicism in a Modern Age: How The Bible in Nature Provides an Antidote to Doubt and Despair
“Cynicism isn’t just a rejection of faith or ideals but is often the by-product of hope gone sour… So Smith asks: "Is there a way out?" His answer is surprising: He turns to Nature, in the ancient tradition of reading evidence of God’s character and hope in the natural world… The cycle of life and death in Nature is this ongoing, concrete parable, that even destruction and suffering, in some mysterious way, give rise to renewal…”

Lies My Professor Told Me About American Politics: Questions Concerning the Original Vision of the Founding Fathers
“Challenges the idea that the separation of church and state was meant to erase religious values from American public life… Makes the case that engaging respectfully with religious perspectives can strengthen the social fabric, not make us more divided… Smith’s argument is less trust my narrative and more question what you’ve been handed…”
