Above all may we acknowledge the Lord who has graciously provided the opportunity and means to produce this and the previous series of Bible doctrine textbooks.
May it please the Lord, in His sovereign good pleasure, to richly bless this means of instruction to many high school students and other younger and older adults reading and studying it "that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up unto Him in all things, which is the Head, even Christ" (Ephesians 4:14-15).
Further may the Holy Spirit graciously apply the eternal truths of His Word, studied in this series, to our hearts that increasingly we may be led to "love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength" (Mark 12:30a). He is most worthy to be praised and worshipped.
- James W. Beeke
