Writer Edmondson explores the origins of the universe and human life as part of God’s plan and the prospects awaiting those who believe (or disbelieve) the histories and prophecies of the Holy Bible. He views are based on quiet times of prayer in which he received the God-given insight that one’s earthly character and actions comprise what Edmondson calls “the box.” Delving into biblical proofs, he establishes a firm case that God developed the universe and man’s role on earth to reveal and share his goodness and glory. But soon, he would need to battle the fallen angel Satan and his nefarious works. This caused God to “deaden” his first human creations and all others afterward, requiring them to “get out of the box” and obey him to experience everlasting life. God’s support will help one to repel Satan’s reach and accept Jesus as humankind’s savior. There are steps that one can take and prayers that can be said, offered here for guidance to the safety of God’s love and care.
Edmondson has made a lengthy, continuing study of holy scripture and offers this work in hopes of bringing readers into God’s protective presence. He effectively compares scientific evidence regarding the creation of the universe with the Bible’s simple yet salient explication. He notes that the coming of Christ was accurately predicted at least sixty times by biblical prophets. He cites a myriad of incidents in which Jesus performed seemingly impossible, miraculous healings and spoke of individual failings and the means to overcome them. Exploring the Book of Revelation, Edmondson encourages readers that those who are sincerely dedicated to biblical truths will be rewarded in the last days. His well-stated presentation of spiritual verities will provide a forceful focus for group sharing and individual contemplation.
