I have interest in the deep theology of scripture and recognize my need to be exposed to and covered by the Word of God similar to that of my "called" brothers in Christ. Yet I want it delivered to me in a simple "worker's language." Recent translations have strived toward this end and...

The idea for this book was born out of my deep concern for the Body of Christ. "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6 (NKJV) It was only when I gave my life to Christ that God stirred up an insatiable desire for knowledge.
