“The Bible is not only a book of ‘do’s’ and ‘don’ts,’ but a book of ‘how to’s.’ It is an extremely practical book with truth that can be applied directly to daily situations and circumstances. The Bible not only tells us to ‘yield not’ to temptation, but it tells us how to avoid yielding and how to avoid tempting circumstances in the first place.” (Page 1)
“A hard heart develops when people hear the truth, believe the truth, but refuse to apply the truth.” (Page vi)
