The Living Bible which has blessed so many was born when Dr. Kenneth Taylor began paraphrasing the Scriptures to make them understandable to his kids. Tom William’s new book From Eden to Eternity has similar roots. When his daughters were teenagers, Tom began trying to distill the complex concepts of the Christian faith into statements his girls could grasp. Now, much revised, the words Tom wrote to instruct his family have been published to bless us all.
We are grateful to Tom and to College Press for allowing us to share a chapter from his book. For over two decades Tom invested his inimitable art and layout skills as Art Editor for The Appeal. Our readers will soon find out what we’ve long known, that Tom writes as well as he draws. And he does that better than anybody.
With lucid lines and simple words, Tom shines light on some of the deepest truths in our faith. We think this excerpt from his extraordinary book will bless you.
