The book is a topical commentary and Bible reference based on the Scriptures from the Old and New Testaments. After the introduction, the first section explains the Messiah's purpose and focuses on the foundations for salvation through the Messiah. The second section focuses on emotional topics and how they affect your relationship with the Messiah. The root of many emotional issues is caused by bitterness, so the causes of bitterness and forgiveness are explained in simple terms easily understood by the reader and how they affect salvation. Next the reader explores love, compassion mercy, pride and humility and how they affect their relationship with God. Digging deeper into the emotional issues the reader learns God's definition for lust and purity of heart. The next section deals with the intangible issues in the reader's life. This includes faith, sanctification, repentance and the importance of total surrender to God. The holy Spirit is explained in detail with an emphasis on His purpose for you. Section four covers some of the symbolism in the Bible and tries to help the reader see things from the cultural view of Jesus time. The desire is to help the reader understand how symbolism points to salvation and the importance of events symbolically. Section five covers almost all the parables of Jesus found in the Gospels. The parables are grouped into broad categories including: "The Kingdom of God," "Service and Obedience," "Prayer," "Humility," "God's Love," "Jesus Return," and "God's Values." The parables are explained in detail using the cultural setting of Jesus time. Section six is a brief overview of biblical history and Israel's history. The next section begins with a discussion about the rapture at Christ's second coming. The various points of view are discussed. Then the anti-Christ and False Prophet are explained. Revelation is covered extensively, but not by analyzing the symbolism. The first article is "Don't fear the book of Revelation," followed by "Revelation: The real Message," These articles explain the purpose and message for Revelation and try to remove the fear factor that most people feel. The final section is designed to challenge your thinking and bring you closer to God.
