That Ye May Know The Truth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781491295922)

In December 1967, my life was in more trouble than I could realistically handle. While in the midst of those struggles, I asked the Lord to forgive me for all the wrong that I had done and to put my life on a path that would lead me out of my difficulties. More than fifty years later, I can now say that He was faithful to do exactly that. He changed me from the inside out. Then He changed the dreadful circumstances of my entire life. Since that night in 1967, I have experienced the joy of knowing the God of the universe and the one and only Creator of everything.

Through the years, I have diligently and carefully studied the Bible in hopes of better understanding all that happened to me on and after that night in 1967. Most people in this life for one reason or another never accept the free gift of salvation that has been provided by God to everyone. Of those who do, most of them, unfortunately, never get to where they really understand the true essence of what that great gift of salvation even means.

So this book has been written for three specific purposes. The first has been to present the many evidences that support the Christian Faith, namely those evidences that show that God is real, that Jesus is Lord, and that the Bible is the true Word of God. Those chapters are intended to help Christians understand the solid foundation upon which Christianity stands. They will also show those, who are not Christian, that this whole "religious" thing is real.

The second purpose of this book has been to share the simple logic of God's salvation plan, to show how and why His plan is the only true plan, and also to prove that it is the only plan that really makes sense. The third and final objective has been to explain how through Jesus Christ an individual can have a personal, right relationship with the God who created him or her. That part of the discussion will be followed with some simple, but important, biblical principles for how to live a life that is pleasing to God.

There is one note, however, to be made with respect to the organization of this text. Something that the reader might find useful is boxes throughout that show the different passages that are being referenced at the times and in the places where they are being referenced. That way, he or she will not have to jump all over the place or get into or out of the scriptures to locate a particular reference. Hopefully that inclusion will help the reader in trying to understand the various events and to also put them into their right context. So it is hoped that that will make this book easier to read and that the Lord will receive the praise, honor, and glory that He rightfully deserves.
