Page 132 - Yahwehs Book

I began this teaching series by sharing about my delight and excitement at having received my first
Bible in my youth. That little, brown, leather bound KJV Bible was treasured by me. I always knew
where it was at. I carried it with me more than any other possession I owned at the time. I read it
often and considered myself fortunate to have received such a valuable and useful gift.

When in recent years I was twice put in jail my great desire was to have a copy of the Scriptures to
read as I spent 20 hours a day in a cell. When the Father led me through many distressing
experiences, fears, and trials, beginning in 1999 and continuing for a period of years, my prize
possession was my Bible. In it I sought comfort, encouragement, strength, wisdom, and direction.
Through many wilderness journeys I have kept Yahweh’s Book close at hand. It is the nearest
tangible connection I have to the One who created me. It is a book I have loved and treasured from
my youth and I continue to treasure it to this day. It is my prayer that you might as well.
