Principles for the Christian Life: Bible Study Edition

Principles for the Christian Life- Bible Study Edition is a wonderful, practical and valuable resource for everyone who wants to study God's Word! Dr. Gullberg is a devoted student of the Bible, having gleaned much wisdom from his daily personal study of God's Word over many decades. Why write a book like this? Quite simple. To educate the Christian with a "bottom line" format. Hosea 4:6 says, "My people are destroyed by a lack of knowledge." In Colossians 1:10, Paul prayed that the Colossians would "live a life worthy of the Lord and please Him in every way, bearing fruit in every good work, growing in knowledge of the Lord, being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that they would have great endurance and patience..." These two verses, as examples, tell it like it is! Knowledge is the key ingredient to wisdom. This book is meant for deep personal or group Bible study and should be excellent for discussion of practical topics. Though provoking questions are in each section. Part 1 of this book is to simply implement the verses present in the Scripture to direct us on important Christian subjects. It is more than a concordance, which one can find at the end of most any Bible. What one will find in PART 1 are the steering points of the wisdom from the Bible. The topics in PART 1 are the "nuts and bolts" of Christianity. My goal was to keep this book to a "bottom line" level of understanding. Part 2 looks at what is going on in the rest of the world of non-Christendom. In day to day living, I find that most Christians are at best vaguely familiar regarding where other people are coming from in their belief systems. 85% of the people in the world are following other religions. This knowledge should be an impetus for us to not only take a stronger stance on our Christian roots but also be more active in our outreach to the lost. The lost are literally all over the place! They are in India, but also in your neighborhood.
