777 Bible Questions and Answers

It has been more than three years since Arland asked me to look over his original manuscript of the 777 Bible Questions and Answers. Little did I realize that I was entering into a journey in faith that would turn me into a student of the Bible. In all honesty this has been an enjoyable and rewarding journey. I know that through this book my life has now been blessed with the message of God's love, truth and direction. There are events in this book that stir the soul and answer many questions that I have often been unsure of. One of those events is the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. God placed an angle at the east gate of Eden's entrance. Then He placed flaming swords flashing back and forth suggesting to guard against man's ever re-entering the garden. Arland explained the Old Testament conception of the afterlife as a story of dark and gloom. In reference to the New Testament He provides an explanation of God's making known the East Gate's presence and therefore afterwards allowing mankind to make has a chose as to whether or not to dwell in the Garden (His Kingdom) of Eden. Ultimately, this book has been a Godsend to me, and it answers many of the questions that I so needed to know in strengthening my every-day walk in faith. I will forever be indebted to Arland for sharing this well informed biblical research endeavor with me. It gives me an everlasting substantiation of my inherent beliefs. In reading Arland's book the most illustrative information to me an historian was how he gave so many examples of the martyrdom of the Apostles, the early church fathers and the Europeans faith believers who were zealously willing to lay down their lives in order to perpetuate the belief of what God had done through His Son Christ Jesus.
