This book is a layman's guide written in layman's terms to help the ordinary person understand the timeless truths found in the bible. It also addresses many of the hard questions and scientific challenges of the secular world opposed to the Christian faith. Most people, including professing Christians, often find the bible difficult to understand and confusing. Many Christians rely a great deal on the expertise of a trained theologian to teach and interpret the bible for them. Typically this is the pastor of the local church they attend. However, God calls all of His people to read and meditate on His word regularly. Every true believer has the indwelling Holy Spirit to help us understand God's word, so in a real sense every Christian is a theologian. It is crucial for individual Christians to know the bible's contents and to struggle through the process of learning spiritual truth for themselves. There are many highly trained and educated false teachers who are not teaching truth and leading many astray. May God richly bless your reading experience
