Something to Think About is not a single story that starts on page one and finishes with the words “The End.” Rather it’s a collection of short studies on a variety of topics that range from the Beatitudes to a look at the hummingbird. A single theme can be found throughout that makes each individual study part of a unified whole: the Kingdom of God is now. In its own way each topic focuses the reader on different aspects of the Kingdom and Kingdom living today.
It is imperative that we as believers accept the truths of Scripture from Genesis 1:1 to Revelations 22:21. Several chapters highlight the beauty and amazing complexity of God’s more interesting creations, demonstrating the unlikelihood that such magnificent creatures could have happened by chance. Other chapters argue for the veracity and completeness of Scripture. All are written to challenge readers in their personal relationship with their Saviour and provide them with confidence in the accuracy of the Word.
About the Author:
R.M. De Garis is a retired air traffic controller currently engaged in driving transport trucks and, along with Sandy, his wife of thirty-nine years, enjoying time with his grandchildren. He worked with youth for twenty-five years in the Christian Service Brigade Programme (learning a whole lot about doctrine as a result). With his wife, he led a home Bible study group in Brussels for six years. Something to Think Aboutoriginated as a challenge to the members of that group to dig deeper into their faith through a weekly devotional-style commentary. Some of the articles were written in response to questions they asked whilst others, particularly those on science, are a result of the author’s curiosity.
