Jesus loved Deuteronomy. He quoted from it more often than from any other Old Testament book except Psalms. This is the account of Moses's last time talking to the people of Israel before his death. He pleads with them to understand the depth of God's covenant commitment and faithfulness to them. They are his "treasured possession." More than anything, Deuteronomy is about the love and grace of God for his people. Deuteronomy is as much for God's people today as it was for God's people encamped on the banks of the Jordan River over three thousand years ago. Moses speaks to us today and pleads with us to know how much God loves us and how much grace he has for us.

The message of Jesus is simple, but the church can complicate it through disagreements, differing points of view and a desire to be different. Christianity in Simple English aims to bring understanding of the basic foundations of the Christian faith to everyone from teenagers to mature citizens. This is not an academic exercise; it is a way to bring the Bible to life. This book is ideal for Christians who are new to the faith or who have never had grounded teaching in foundations of Christianity. The language used steers clear of religious jargon and there is liberal use of personal stories and anecdotes. This book can be used as a Bible Study guide for small groups or as a gift for youngsters, especially those who have not been taught from a young age. The aim of the book is to make Jesus center, and to shine a light on His beauty and grace.

I have had so many names; Asmodeus, Asmodai, Hashmodai, Hercules, Incubus, Casanova, The Demon Of Lust just to mention a few. I have feasted with heads of state such as Nero, Napoleon, Mary Tutor, Martin Luther, Abraham Lincoln, Adolf Hitler and many more. Queens have fallen to their knees to pleasure me. I stood on the foundations of Sparta, and Rome. I have caused the accidents of the Titanic and the Hindenburg. I am responsible for the destruction of the great cities of Surner, Sodom, Gomorrah, and Troy. I am guilty of the deaths of Abraham Lincoln, and John F. Kennedy, two U.S. presidents you should know well. My talents include artwork from all over the world. Many can still be seen today. I wrote a song with the Rolling Stones, called "Sympathy For The Devil." So, sit back and relax while I tell you my story. Or would you prefer me to drain you dry and discard your useless husk? I thought so.
