This work is intended as a source book for those in the field, far from their help from their church headquarters. Many assumptions are made.  The first assumption is that you are attending the seminary or bible school or has already done so. Moreover you are in some area of ministry in which you will be face with the decision to offer or withhold counseling help. Again, this is aimed for the beginner who is looking to expand the ministry and include those who are ill, hurting and lost their place in society.  It is thought that this could be a guide to those of you in position of ministry that may be physically   far from immediate help from your church support.

If you are a Bible Teacher for Jesus and the Kingdom of God, you better teach for Jesus! Jesus died for you, offered a free gift for you and loves you, supplies your bread and butter. Teach for him - yield completely to Him, witness for Him, stand by him and stand by the institution He represents.

Here, the meaning of unique is “having no like or equal; unparalleled; incomparable: Bach was unique in his handling of counterpoint.”  Using the word unique in this respect fully implies that it is not the only book written about gods’ dealings with mankind, rather it is a book that describes Gods’ history of dealing with man. Think of it in this manner: I was working in my garden yesterday and I discovered a log in which termites had taken up as their home. 

The question of what to read in the Bible is as important as to how to read the Bible. If and/or since you probably are a young Christian, young in physical age and young in the length of time you have made Jesus Lord of your life, the “what” question has bearing on your life?
