Author's premise on the Bible presents eye-opening insights through seven main points
CANTON, Ohio, April 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Who decides what is right or wrong? In his book, The Bible is a Single Book, author H Doyle Smith shows that while people cannot know what is right or wrong, and cannot define God, people's efforts to live as He has told will make life pleasant and enjoyable. This book presents a new and completely different point of view on Biblical studies, and discusses that the promises of the Bible are real. With this book's insights, readers will find that much of the stress of living is eliminated, as seen through the author's personal life.
Most people consider the Bible to be 66 books, each able to stand alone. This book describes the Bible as one book, where each of the 66 books relates to a central theme. That theme is that people cannot decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong – that's God's job – and that people cannot describe or define God. The gospels give people a way that they can live even with these limitations.
Adam was kicked out of Eden for deciding on his own that nakedness was wrong, and the consequences of doing what was "right in their own eyes" made man so bad that God decided to destroy him. Noah and his family were the only ones saved and they immediately started to do the same thing that God hated. People are like the examples that followed in the next chapters. The efforts of those who tried to decide what was good and evil led to the discussions of Job. Since people must have some guidelines, people themselves tried to develop them, but each could only see the problems involved from their own point of view. That's why in the gospels, God – through Jesus – gave man the guidelines that everyone can follow: What people do for others is the goal. Some practical understandings of specific situations also follow.
The book is available online and can be purchased at www.amazon.com and www.barnesandnoble.com
