Author Carter has diligently studied the deepest meanings embedded in the Holy Bible, as expressed by God’s chosen visionaries. His narrative propounds these scriptural lessons to aid fellow Christians seeking higher understanding. The volume opens with lessons from Peter, one of Christ’s closest apostles, addressing “the elect” who have received Jesus as their savior. Peter was an impulsive but tender-hearted man who observed Jesus' works during his savior’s lifetime and after Jesus’ resurrection and was persecuted for his beliefs. The writings of Paul, as presented in the book of Ephesians, explore the relationship between Jews and Gentiles, all of whom are offered salvation by Jesus. Paul also warned the Galatians about false teachers.
Like Paul and Peter, John could testify to Christ's miraculous life and love. The Book of Revelation, which he wrote while exiled, predicts the end times and the need to maintain unwavering faith. Joshua led and advised the Israeli nation after the passing of Moses. The authors of the Proverbs and Psalms of the Old Testament offer a myriad of ways to adhere to God’s teachings and accept his care.
With an MBA and BA and service in the US Military to his credit, Carter took on the role of preaching to inmates in a local jail and gradually expanded this avocation to intense involvement in biblical teaching. He has taken courses in Bible study, given seminars, and been the teacher for various religious groups. Aligning his general knowledge and his teaching materials, he reveals his gifts as a historian and scholar with the rare ability to find and communicate highly detailed factual material with feeling and clear purpose. Carter’s work is designed for Christian seekers who will certainly wish to study his intelligent, accessible biblical knowledge and share it with others.
