INTRODUCTION In the dark and tangled maze of life the soul of man groping for the Light cries out, "Which way shall I take? Which way shall I take?" Thank God there is an answer and to the listening soul the Psalmist replies, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path." Thank God for the Book! the unchanging Book, the Book of all ages, the Book of God. Tradition and custom may pass but the Word of God abides. Institutions and even civilization may pass but the Word of God remains forever a light to guide the traveler home. How safe, how contented, how blest is that man who from his heart can sing:
"I believe the Bible;
O it is divine,
Heaven’s golden sunlight
In its pages shine, Lights my way to glory
And I’m surely going through,
I believe the Bible
For ’tis ever true."
What I should have done had it not been for the Blessed Old Book, I do not know. Through the years of my boyhood every night at my father’s family altar, the Book was read. Its commandments awed me. Its stories thrilled me. Its prayers lifted me into the presence of God. Its doctrines became my creed. Its characters were my heroes. Its Christ became my Savior and its God my God. Glory be to God for the Book. the Bible! It is upon this theme that the Grand Old Book is written. The author in his own interesting and individual style here presents the unusual. a devotional study on the Bible.
However many books you may have read on the Bible you will find this one to be distinctive. Study it carefully, reverently and prayerfully. It is safe to predict that thousands will read it and multiplied thousands will be blessed by it.
