Once upon a time, a man named Godfrey White took it on himself to read the whole bible to determine its validity. Unfortunately, he could not understand it. This upset Godfrey White because he saw the positive impact it had done on other lives and wanted to know more about this “One God” so that it could impact his life too. Mr. White was extremely irritated by the bible because when he read it, he felt like it was judging him, so he felt unworthy of it. Mr. White would spend hours on hours during the day trying to figure out what God’s love was all about but felt it was too overwhelming to take in. He would sometimes read it before bed but found the stories as fictional and boring. He did his best to study it and maybe understand who God was but failed to do so. Therefore, Godfrey White placed the book in his closet, where all the other books he had finished reading were. He continued on with his life but everyday he would hear a voice calling to him, “Do you wish to know the truth?” He was not sure where the voice was coming from, so he ignored it. But the more he ignored it, the louder the voice got. Godfrey White soon began to lose his mind because the voice would not go away, so one day when he was alone in his room he spoke back to the voice, “Who is it that is speaking? Am I going crazy? What is the truth?” It was at that moment when the voice spoke back to him saying, “I heard you were searching for me, so I called back to you, but you ignored me. Go to your closet and find that book you have failed to understand, and I will guide you to the truth. Today the gospel shall be revealed to you, and you shall not only receive truth but a relationship with me.” #TheSecretIsOut

The contents of the verses of this book were chosen from the 12-volume work called The Book of True Life, and have been ordered by themes, resulting in a compendium that uses the original wording, but which offers the reader an introduction of more manageable size to this Divine work. The twelve volumes are made up of a total of 366 chronologically numbered "Teachings". Although this book is arranged by topics, the Teachings are subdivided by verse numbers to facilitate their identification and for easy comparison between translations made to other languages. However, they are also identified, either singly, or at the end of a block of verses taken whole from the twelve volumes of The Book of True Life, by the original Teaching and Volume numbers for those, who wish to expand their knowledge of the work, or who wish to check the full context for citations they find to be of special interest. For example, a numerical citation such as: (356, 4-5) means: Teaching 356, verses four and five, of the original. Below, is a small table showing the Teaching numbers contained in each of the twelve volumes: Volume 1 1 - 28 Volume 7 175 - 207 Volume 2 29 - 54 Volume 8 208 - 241 Volume 3 55 - 82 Volume 9 242 - 276 Volume 4 83 - 110 Volume 10 277 - 309 Volume 5 111 - 142 Volume 11 310 - 338 Volume 6 143 - 174 Volume 12 339 - 366

After more than a century of debate about the significance of imperial cults for the interpretation of Revelation, this is the first study to examine both the archaeological evidence and the Biblical text in depth. Friesen argues that a detailed analysis of imperial cults as they were practiced in the first century CE in the region where John was active allows us to understand John's criticism of his society's dominant values. He demonstrates the importance of imperial cults for society at the time when Revelation was written, and shows the ways in which John refuted imperial cosmology through his use of vision, myth, and eschatological expectation.

See it. Study it. Do it. Many Christians focus on mechanical application of the Scriptures. In Experience Your Bible, the McDowells proclaim God's original design—the Scriptures are his way to reveal himself so he can enjoy a relationship with people. The authors show how the Bible can radically transform believers' lives: Intimacy. God created humans such that an intimate relationship with him is their only route to meaningful life. His written Word enables this relationship. Relational experience. We must obey God's commands. Yet he also wants us to relationally experience things like acceptance, joy, and comfort with him and other believers. Growth in love. Josh and Sean highlight the Holy Spirit's role in illuminating the Scriptures. They present proven tools to help readers study and "accurately handle the word of truth." Above all, they emphasize that study is the journey to help Christians more deeply love the author of the Bible, God himself. When Christians experience the Bible and its author, they find wisdom, meaning, and fulfillment in life. A key tool for pastors, leaders, parents, and youth workers—anyone wanting to proclaim and experience the life- and culture-changing Christianity the Bible reveals.
