Publisher's Synopsis
On April 12, 2011, the 112th Congress of the United States of America recognized the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Version of the Bible. (HCON 38 IH) On September 3, 2011, I celebrated 40 years of reading and studying this trusted version of the English translation of the scriptures. When I first gave my life to Christ over forty years ago, a new friend handed me a King James Version of the Bible and said, "Read this book over and over again. If you come across something you don't understand don't stop, just keep reading. Treat this book like your daily food and eat from it every day." So that's exactly what I did. I have never stopped and I have never ceased to be satisfied by the encouraging and living words of God. It has never become dull and has always renewed and refreshed my life. While there are many versions and translations to choose from, I find that every time the Words of God come to my mind, they always come in the King James form. I am not implying that God speaks only in the King James Version. I simply accept that it is the version that I have partaken of the most. I do enjoy many of the different translations and versions available but, I always return to the one that I am most familiar and comfortable. When I received the inspiration to create WOGBOOK, it was my goal from the beginning to provide a reading experience that would be productive and edifying. By removing the verse numbers and reworking the structure of the sentences and paragraphs I have created a book format that can be read repeatedly and in only a few days for the average reader. None of the verses have been omitted and I made no attempt to offer my private interpretation of the words or text. This structure allows one to read the book many times over and find the inspiration, guidance, wisdom, peace, and spiritual sustenance necessary to navigate through life's journey. The words in this book are not mine. They are words given to us by God so that we may all come to understand His will and purpose for us, and to fully comprehend His ultimate intention and to benefit completely from the knowledge of His Word through the revelation of His Son, Christ Jesus. So I say to you as well, "Read this book over and over again. If you come across something you don't understand don't stop, just keep reading. Treat this book like your daily food and eat from it every day." Randall M. Mooney Editor, Publisher, Author, Believer
