A Study of the Fundamentals of the Christian Faith

From its title and cover design, some may think this is a children’s book. That is not the case! The motivation for the book was to provide my heritage and others with the knowledge and understanding that will give them the ability to read, interpret, and properly apply the Scriptures to their lives. In teaching others, I have often used the analogy, reflected in the title, that the Bible is like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Some pieces often seem to fit where they do not actually belong resulting in a puzzle improperly fit together, i.e., resulting in improper doctrines and teachings. When all the pieces are properly fit together, the doctrines, like the completed puzzle, form a unified whole. Those who have read pre-production copies of the book have consistently stated that while quite thorough on its many topics it is both readable and understandable. Written in narrative style rather than a classical academic textbook manner, most reviewers agreed that the many details and the presentation of variant views added credibility to the conclusions.
