The compiler of this book is himself a lay person who is sometimes asked to speak. He knows it is often a scramble to put something together with short notice. He and some of his acquaintances have used these materials with marked success.
The compiler is not a theologian but is a product of Christian schools and has been an avid student of the Bible his entire life. He is educated in the sciences and so is an objective thinker. He was an instructor of college students, teaching biological subjects and chemistry for nearly 30 years.
He insists that the authors of the book are really the apostles of the Bible under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. His own contribution is only to bring the Bible texts together by topic for easy use. There is no need to search for texts in preparation of the sermon or to frantically turn pages while trying to speak and hold the congregation's attention at the same time. The sermon is in the palm of the speaker's hand.
This book is a must for lay pastors, church elders, Bible teachers, group leaders, Sabbath School teachers, family worship, or for individual devotional studies.
