Publisher's Synopsis
The reason for writing this book is to show the mistakes some of the well known people in the Bible made in their lives. As I was writing this book, I came to the conclusion that had they would have embraced what the Word of God says, they would have made fewer blunders. Some, if not many of them, caused challenges and often tremendous heartaches in their lives that could have been avoided. I'm not a person who dwells on the problems. I seek to understand the problem and focus on solutions so the events which occurred can be minimized or avoided in the future. So with that said, I'm bringing you some unique observations so we all can learn from the mistakes of the past so we can work on avoiding such pitfalls. As the old saying goes, if we don't learn from history, we are likely to repeat and make those same mistakes others have made throughout history. Our Heavenly Father has given us what to do and what not to do in His Word, the Bible. While there is much debate as to what some ideas, concepts, history, and the stories mean at various levels in the Bible, what is clear is after studying the Scriptures, there is much to learn and apply in our daily lives, how we should run our companies, and what is the best ways to run governments. Understanding these instructions listed in the first five books of the Bible or sometimes called the Torah (the word "Torah" means "Instructions") and in the New Testament, will benefit all of us and bring glory to the LORD God. When we come to the realization that these instructions that are given to us and commanded for us to follow is just not to restrict us in what we do each and every day, but in actuality, it leads us to living a life that is wholesome, uplifting, and full of life! Not only for ourselves, but for everyone else on this earth. Keep in mind the mistakes listed here in this book probably doesn't include all of them they made while they lived. This book is not intended to be an exhaustive study into this interesting topic. It is intended to give us all hope because the mistakes they made are similar to the ones we make today. Too often times we point the finger at someone; pointing out the little spec of dirt in someone else's life, yet we have this big two by four in our own personal life which needs to be removed.
