"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. (Psalm 119:105 KJV)
We are the People of the Book, and our book is the Bible. That's quite a bargain when you think about it. It's more than a book -- it's a collection of books. And it's more than a collection of books -- it's the Word of Life. These are the words of life, and this word has depth, with meaning for the time in which it was first delivered, and additional strata for every time and every heart, including our own. (from the introduction)
