The most important questions.</p><p>These are the questions for which you must have the answers</p><p>if you want to know yourself your God and a life of glory.</p><p>2.

If you have any time to spare in</p><p>class use it for a Bible study of these readings.</p><p>3. Accurate Bible quotations.</p><p>Many years of hard study of the manuscripts and of the Bible</p><p>text are behind these quotations from Beck's translation of the</p><p>Bible.</p><p>Dr. Beck asked the question: What does God want in a Bible</p><p>translation? The first answer which every Christian knows is</p><p>that God wants us to have an accurate Bible. It should be more</p><p>accurate than the translations of today. From such a fresh</p><p>translation absolutely loyal to the manuscripts and the original</p><p>text come the passages in this book. You can trust them.</p><p>On each topic we can gather a mass of Bible quotations not</p><p>all of which are equally clear and direct in answering our questions.</p><p>Many hundreds of Bible statements were examined most</p><p>thoroughly to select those that will help you most effectively.</p><p>4. God is speaking your language.</p><p>There's a second answer to the question: What does God want</p><p>in a Bible translation? God wants to talk to our hearts. Dr. Beck</p><p>has put his life into the job of giving us such a Bible. How well</p><p>he has succeeded you can tell from a test consisting of 67 passages</p><p>submitted to 60 Detroit pastors. Without knowing which</p><p>translation they were voting for they gave his translation a vote</p><p>of 3858 over against 162 for the RSV. It was the conviction of</p><p>these pastors that the passages as you have them in this book</p><p>are in the language of our hearts. They are in the crisp language</p><p>of today and tomorrow because our Lord wants to talk that way.</p><p>5. This book will catch your interest.</p><p>Here you are yourself searching for the truth and from point</p><p>to point discovering it.</p><p>6. Here you stand on your own feet.</p><p>When you try to get a truth from a difficult wording ex</p><p>plained by commentaries and pastors you lean too much on</p><p>others to have an independent conviction. But when God speaks</p><p>clearly in your own language what you believe isn't something</p><p>some man or church tells you but what you yourself get from</p><p>God's Word. By letting God talk directly to your heart you will</p><p>be more thoroughly convinced. You will get the kind of sparkling</p><p>faith with which you can meet any prob lem in our puzzling</p><p>world.</p><p>7. You can teach these truths -</p><p>To a friend you'd like to win for Christ;</p><p>To get any child or adult ready for communicant membership</p><p>in the church;</p><p>In the family devotions;</p><p>In Sunday school Bible class vacation Bible school released</p><p>time or Saturday classes.</p><p>____________________</p><p>Jesus says See I'm standing at the door and knocking.
