Description
This is not a book about techniques. It is a book about fundamentals, especially the fundamental responsibility given by God to create understanding of the Almighty God in every place, culture, and within every child, woman and man. His primary purpose in this age is repeatedly shown in His Word and actions among and for people - all people.
We translate His Word into every language and culture only by obedient action, guided by His principles (laws, promises, commands, ways) shown in His life and words. Creating Understanding seeks to summarize those principles, guiding His children to fulfill His desire for all to know Him - His salvation and His purpose for each one to live in peace, joy, and to praise Him.
