Precious Promises

These booklets are a distillation of ponderings and efforts to sort through over 43 years of many different experiences in my quest to find God’s truth. One question or subject led to the realization that another also needed to be researched and articulated, and so on until now the series feels complete with these seven topics.

God wants us to understand his truth so much that he went to great lengths to reveal what we need to know through his Old Testament prophets, his Son Jesus, and his New Testament apostles and prophets.

These booklets were researched and written primarily for my own benefit. I know how forgetful and distracted I can get, so focusing on these subjects in depth helped me to experience the transformation process of putting off human and worldly wisdom and replacing it with the spiritual mindset that God offers to give us through knowledge of his Word.

God describes the way his children are to interconnect and function as a body with each part’s strengths and talents contributing to the rest, and each part’s weaknesses benefiting from the rest (especially in 1 Corinthians 12).

In writing these booklets, my hope is that others may benefit from the compulsion to learn and understand that my nature and temperament force on me. Just as others have helped me grow in my weak areas, I hope that those who may not have pondering temperaments may find it helps their growth to read these summaries of some of the big themes of the Bible.

I don’t claim to have a corner on truth. In fact, I hope that others may read what I’ve compiled and be encouraged to realize that God’s Word is understandable and amazing in how it fits together as a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. The more one learns of the Bible, the more obvious it is that God’s goal is to enlighten rather than confuse us. Those who believe it is too confusing or difficult to understand must not have tried to actually read it (or have been put off by outdated King James language).

To read the booklets: They are laid out in 2 formats, as a document PDF and as a booklet that is ready to print front and back and fold to 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. You can print the booklet format out front-only and then put them together to be front and back if you don’t want to mess with figuring out how to put the sheets through to print on the back. If anyone would prefer to read them as a hard-copy finished booklet (with a rainbow on the cover, even!), email me at the address on the last page of the booklets.
