He wanted to live "a Christian way of life" but couldn't determine exactly what that should entail—not at church, in bookstores or anyplace else. So he turned to the ultimate authority on Christianity and methodically read every sentence in the New Testament (more than 27,000 lines of text).His goal was to learn how life should be lived in the most reliable, complete and precise terms possible. It took hundreds of evenings and week-ends to read all the scripture and sort through duplicate messages. But the project was successful. It produced 44 verses that clearly, concisely and thoroughly explain "how God wants us to live." Some of the quotes came from classic Bible passages. Others weren't as striking or well known, but nevertheless they defined "Christian living."Overall, the result was a treasure of practical information that enables anyone to in fact ♦live a Christian way of life ♦express love and appreciation for God ♦achieve a breakthrough in spiritual growth ♦and help make our world a better place.A sample of the 44 verses is shown below, quoted from The Living Bible Paraphrased.
