Book excerpt: From the author: Thank God for His Word! It says in Proverbs 2, verses 3, 4 and 5 in the Living Bible; “If you want better insight and discernment, and are searching for them as you would for lost money or hidden treasure, then wisdom will be given you, and knowledge of God Himself. You will soon learn the importance of reverence for the Lord and of trusting Him.” What an exciting promise! Differently constructed than most study aids, this manual is part of Pastor Demola's personal study notes. It is a combination of years and years of personal meditation on the power and principles contained in the Old Testament! You will be educated and thoroughly blessed as you go chapter by chapter, through the intriguing lives of Old Testament figures, citing their success and failures, and seeing examples of human frailty. For your benefit, please notice that much of the Scripture is quoted from the Living Bible to enable easy reading and comprehension. You will never be the same as you are challenged by the Holy Spirit in experiencing the awesomeness of God that is revealed in the Old Testament.
