“God has always used scribes to fan the flame of sound biblical truth, carrying His message from one generation to the next. Zach Fox stands as one of those voices, boldly proclaiming God-honoring truths in the contest for the soul of the next generation.”
—Dixie Phillips, Dove Award-winning songwriter
