INTRODUCTION When I was a baby Christian, a Bible teacher was inquiring which books we would like to study.

Having just last night watched ”The Book of Eli”, which I highly recommend (though maybe not for children due to violence and some inappropriate language used by the lawless ones), I am so thankful for the Word of God! The Word of God is ”sharper than a two-edged sword” (Heb 4:12) (Eph 6:17) and defeats evil. If you need victory in your life, learn to use the sword the Lord has so graciously given us – His Truth!
Matt 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
