are not directly revealed in the
Bible. God equipped man with the
powers and abilities to discover
these laws for himself. But man has
not been able to discover wi th
assurance what he is and why he
was put here on earth- whether
there is a real
PURPOSE
for human
life, and what that purpose is.
Man has not been able, by him–
self, to discover the way to peace,
happiness, abundant well-being and
real success. T his world's colleges
and universities teach students how
to earn a living- but they invaria–
bly fail to teach them how to
/ive.
But the Bible does!
Perhaps you have not thought of
it this way befare, but the Bible is
God's " lnstruction Man–
ual" that shows his
supreme physical creation
how to live. Only in the
Bible can one find
this necessary
basic knowl–
edge. Only in
the Bible is the
basis of true education to
be found!
The Bi ble is the
FOUNOATION
of knowJ–
edge.
It
gives the
true
approach
to the acquisition of
knowledge in the fields of history,
education, psychology, sociology
and the health sciences.
lt
reveals
basic principies concerning busi–
ness, commerce, science, the arts,
law, government, philosophy and
religion.
The Bible also explains the
meaning of the chaotic times in
which we live. And it shows us how
peace, prosperity, success and hap–
piness are coming to all the
world- in our lifetime!
Yet, ironically, this "Book of all
books" is one of the least known,
least understood of all books.
Why?
Simply because when most
people try to read the Bible, they
can't understand it. Consequently,
they assume it is out-of-date and
irrelevant in our modern age.
People could begin to under–
stand the Bible- if they were
really willing to Jet it teach them
and if they would accept it for
what it says. The Bible is plain
and simple.
Jt
means exactly what
it says. If we take it as it is-

Jetting it interpret
itself- it
makes
real sense!

What Our Students Say
But perhaps you might think that a
college correspondence course
would be too difficult for you, that
you wouldn't understand
it, or that you're too old
to study.
1f you think
that way, you
could not
be
more
wrong. This
course is
designed for
people of all
ages- including vou!
And it makes studying
the Bible enjoyable, re–
warding- the experience of a life–
time for individual or family.
Thousands
of
our Bible corre–
spondence course students have
written to the editor expressing sin–
cere appreciation for tbe lessons.
We'd like to share sorne of those
letters with you, showing how our
students are actually understanding
their Bibles for the first time, and
finding that it is relevant to their
own lives here and now. Notice the
following letter:
1 wish to express my tbanks for

respondence Course.
