The Christian Life Digest is a layman's commentary, offering a treasure of Biblical knowledge and is best used as a resource for new believers and as a reference in developing a, "Walk- By- Faith" lifestyle. It is also a great source for personal spiritual growth and group Bible studies. There are many topical presentations to review in the 45 chapters. Portions of some topics are presented in multiple chapters that may require additional discussion within the text. Know that I am not aimlessly repeating myself. I do this because it is a reference book for personal or group study in a quest for truth, correct doctrine and clarity of mind. The King James version of the Bible is used most often as examples and referred to many times. It is considered, by the author, to be the most reliable source of knowledge and revelation in matters of "Christian Living."
