This is not a novel. It is more of a reference work. It does not have to be read from beginning to end, although you can do that. It is meant to be a sort of primer of life, with a strong emphasis on the Bible, also known as "The Word". You may already know that book as a huge best seller. So the essays are roughly arranged by subject in alphabetical order, like an encyclopedia or dictionary. Not designed for cover to cover reading.

This is not a novel. It is more of a reference work. It does not have to be read from beginning to end, although you can do that. It is meant to be a sort of primer of life, with a strong emphasis on the Bible, also known as "The Word". You may already know that book as a huge best seller. So the essays are roughly arranged by subject in alphabetical order, like an encyclopedia or dictionary. Not designed for cover to cover reading. But the ideas are related, complex, and sometimes it is hard to find just what you are looking for in the way of answers. The focus of this small book is part evangelistic. It is also partly related to the work that Christians who are already saved need to be about in God''s Kingdom work. It is also about the big issues in all our lives: happiness, sorrow, meaning, survival, and answers to the Great Questions that transcend even Life and Death. If you''re not a Christian, I suggest that you read "Doubting Thomas", and "Smokin" first. If you already accept Jesus as our Savior, but wonder what to do, read "Executor", or just start leafing through the essays until you find something that grabs you.
