Introduction




















               John Wimber, one of the founders of the Vineyard Movement, was not raised with a Christian
               influence in his life. He had never entered the doors of a church in his youth, never read a Bible, or
               heard one read. He was a keyboard player for a rock group in the early 1960s, when he was invited
               to attend a Bible study. He was so ignorant of Christianity that he has shared in his testimony about
               his incredulity when someone told him about the Bible. “God has a book out?”

               I  have  been  intrigued  by  the  innocent  and  sincere surprise  expressed  by  John  Wimber  at  the
               discovery that God has given to mankind a book - His book. Those who have been raised in
               Christian homes, attended church services, or otherwise had some Christian influence growing up,
               often fail to comprehend the wonder of what God has done in providing for mankind a book. Think
               about it for a moment. The world is filled with books written by men, for men. Yet there is only one
               book written by God for men. The uniqueness and weightiness of this book is so extraordinary that
               men  simply  refer to  it  as  “THE  BOOK.”  (The  word  Bible  means  “book.”) Some  add  to  this
               description the word “Holy,” which means “sacred, set-apart, having a spiritually pure quality.”


















               There is truly no other book on earth like Yahweh’s book. It is THE Holy Book.

               Another name given to this book which Yahweh has authored is the Scriptures. This too is often
               given the appellation “Holy.” The English word “Scriptures” comes from the Latin “scriptura” which
               means “writing.” Once again, we find that this is not just an ordinary writing. This book is referred
               to as THE Writings, THE Scriptures. This writing stands out among all other writings in the world.
               It alone is God’s tome, His authorship, the words of divinity recorded for mankind.
