What an amazing book is our Bible — God’s Word. The Bible is a book of answers, not a book of questions. It guides us in matters where the mind cannot penetrate, and where human reason leaves us unsatisfied. Many blessings are given to those who begin an honest search, willing to follow the path of truth wherever it may lead.
Hebrews 4:12 tells us, “For the Word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edge sword, it penetrates even to the dividing soul and spirit, joint and marrow, it judges thoughts and attitudes of the heart.”

We owe it to ourselves to give this book a fair reading through. It will change your life.
