This book contains 102 standalone chapters, with each one addressing a different topic. Every chapter has a brief introduction by the author and then Bible passages/verses that pertain to the topic. The passages/verses were found by repeatedly reading through multiple Bible translations. They go considerably beyond what could be found using a concordance, plus there is no need to sift through hundreds of unrelated concordance matches for the fraction that could be found using that search method. It contains over 3,300 applicable passages with over 6,700 verses that are a highly valuable resource for: sermon preparation, youth group message preparation, growth-life-community group preparation, devotionals, and personally going really deep into Scripture on any of a wide variety of topics. While the verses it contains are direct from the Bible, it clearly and absolutely does not replace or reduce the importance of reading the Bible. The author is a servant who welcomed Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in 1989. His growth has been mainly through serving, nine mission trips, and studying the Bible. It was on the third mission trip that God sent a clear message to faithfully read the Bible and since then the author has consistently & passionately read through 28 Bibles, spanning five translations. On the second read through, God made it clear that He wanted the author to apply the Bible in his own life, and after a few more read-throughs, God made it clear that He wanted him to also help others apply it in their lives. The primary ministries the author has served in are radio ministry technical production, children's ministry for 12 years, transitioning with an overlap to youth ministry for 25 years, with considerable adult ministry woven into the mix.
