Excerpts
“The purpose of this study is not only to give people the ‘big picture’ of the Bible. It is designed to bring ‘new life’ to adult Sunday School. It becomes a ‘church growth’ tool, drawing many new people into Sunday School. Many churches have ‘big days’ to draw people in, which is great. This study, however, draws people in not only for one day, but for a long-term study. Once they get into a habit of coming, they continue to come.” (back cover)
“Anyone desiring to become Christ’s disciple must daily be willing to put his own interests and wishes into the background and accept voluntarily and wholeheartedly the sacrifice and suffering that will be endured in His service. The ‘cross’ is not the ordinary human troubles and sorrows that all mankind experiences, but the persecution, self-sacrifice, and suffering Christians experience as a result of true faith in and obedience to Him.” (p. 45)
