“What comes to mind when we think about God is the most important thing about
us. Man cannot rise above his religion, and no religion has ever been greater
than its idea of God.”
What is your idea of God? Is it based on truth or based on tradition. Can you
believe what you say when you say you believe?
Even though it is called Faith, the Rev. Gruits provides plenty of fact – based
on Scripture – to define God in a way that is comprehensible, reassuring and
definitive. Whether it is the translation of Jehovah or the list of God’s
powerful characteristics, Rev. Gruits relates in human ways the spiritual
reality and necessity of truly knowing Him…and proves once and for all that the
incredible claims of God’s existence are NOT too good to be true.
Time tested since it began changing lives in the mid-50s, UNDERSTANDING GOD AND
HIS COVENANTS with its question and answer format will take you places you’ve
never been before and plant you firmly in the single most important place you’ll
ever be – the comforting love and peace of the Father.
