The New Testament History (Classic Reprint)

PREFACE. The Bible is the only book that reaches man's highest aspirations. Many persons have attempted to satisfy these aspirations without bringing them in touch with the Bible, and they have made a failure of life. Man was created to enjoy an eternal home of happiness, which can be reached only by fully and carefully following the directions presented in the Book given us by God. Every follower of Jesus is a. representative from heaven and should be known as such in words and works. This can be accomplished only by a daily use of the Heavenly Book that is intended-to fill us with heavenly thoughts and the desire to be heavenly representatives upon the earth. The Bible is an eternal book; man has an eternal soul, which is to be cultured and prepared by a proper use of the Eternal Book, for the Eternal Home. Jesus holds the nearest place to our Heavenly Father, and when we hear Jesus speak we are brought into the very presence of the Father. As we enter upon the study of this Book
