This comparatively small book explains the most essential teachings of the Bible (a comparatively huge book). The most essential teachings of the entire Bible are about what would save us, and consequently, what would bring us inner serenity, peace, joy and happiness … the sole purpose for the teachings of Jesus and the prophets of the Old Testament.

The following is a sample of the things explained in this booklet:  

  • The truth about the Gospel that Jesus preached and that he commanded his disciples to preach to every creature in the entire world. 

  • The truth about the sole purpose for the teachings of Jesus and the saints of the Old Testament. 

  • The hidden, underlying cause of anxiety, depression, hate, anger, jealousy, emotional insecurity, psychosomatic illnesses (those illnesses caused by the mind and account for about 60 percent of the visits to doctors)—all mental turmoil and suffering. 

  • The truth about the truth that would set us free from all mental turmoil and suffering.

  • The truth about what would save us, according to what Jesus and other biblical teachers said.

  • The truth about what our purpose in life is, according to what Solomon said … consistent with the Gospel that Jesus preached.

  • The secret for achieving peace, joy and happiness. The secret has been known for about 3,000 years; it is in the Old Testament … the secret that would not fail. This is it!

  • The truth about heaven and hell: where and what they are.

  • The truth about our true nature; it isn’t evil and sinful, as many people seem to believe. Briefly, our true nature is perfect, created in the image and likeness of God.

  • The truth about who sent Jesus and why he was sent, according to what Jesus said.

  • The secret for understanding and embodying the Gospel that Jesus preached. Jesus let us know the secret; however, what Jesus said has been glossed over. This is it! If you do not learn to do this one thing, you could study the Bible from cover to cover, again and again — you could hear sermons all of your life — and never discover the truth that sets you free.

  • This nation is headed toward being “utterly wasted” (language of Isaiah). What would change the direction in which we are headed?

  • The truth about when suffering and violence — when wars and the rumors of wars — will end, according to what Jesus said.

  • The truth about when people will live in peace and harmony … in our families, our society, our nation—the very world itself, according to what Jesus said.

  • The truth about what we would worship (according to what Jesus said), if we believed and embodied the Gospel that Jesus preached.
