Why
These Bible studies are written for those who actively want to grow in their faith, to correctly understand the Word of God–the Bible, and to walk more closely with the Lord.
It is the author’s conviction that the Word of God is far more powerful and effective than his advice or counsel. For this reason, he has kept his own ‘commentary’ to a minimum and has quoted many Scriptures that pertain to the subject being covered.
The Author has tried to be very careful in what he has written. He has tried to carefully and accurately teach the Word of God, rather than promoting the latest movements or fads in various church circles.
Readers are encouraged to think about and to meditate (not yoga) on these Biblical truths, and to regularly ask God for a correct understanding. Learn to love God and His Word. Commit yourself to making genuine Biblical truths the foundation of your life and to putting them into practice every day of your life.

About Phil and Linda Benedict
I grew up in a godly Christian home and was saved as a young child. I was active in our church youth group where I met my wife, Linda. We married when we were young and God has blessed our marriage. We have four children, all of whom are actively serving the Lord. We both graduated from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Illinois, and from Boise State University in Boise, Idaho. I have also taken classes in secondary school administration at the College of Idaho in Caldwell, Idaho, classes in Cherokee heritage from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, and classes in drug and alcohol counseling at Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma. We have served as “full time” Christian workers for over thirty-five years, over 25 of those with UIM International (formerly United Indian Missions).
Thanks to My Wife Linda
God has given me an exceptional wife who chose to be a stay-at-home mom and ministry partner with me. She has spent many hundreds of hours editing, checking for mistakes, making suggestions, printing, and binding this and other study guides that we have put together. Without her, these study guides would not exist.
