The Book of Balance is an interesting book from the author of Walking in the Covenant of Salt, The Glory of God's Law, and The Book of David, Ron has written The Book of Balance which examines the most controversial issues in the body of Christ. The entire examination of these major points of division centers around a method of Bible study found in Isaiah 28. In the following pages, Ron will address six major points of controversy among sincere Bible-believing Christians. While there are many other points of controversy, he will deal specifically with these: The security of the believer; The Godhead; Water baptism, mode and application; Divorce and remarriage in the church; The return of Christ - pre, mid, or post tribulation; The evidence of the believer's fullness of the Holy Spirit.In Chapter one Ron gives the reader the pattern used for coming to the conclusions concerning the controversies we address. It is strongly urged that readers refrain from turning to the chapter of the book that deals with the controversy he or she finds most interesting. Chapter one is a must to read in order to understand the study pattern that is referenced in every chapter. Brother Ron does not pretend to believe that this humble effort will right the wrong or solve a problem of such magnitude. He does not believe that he has arrived at the status of theologian or prophet. He does not believe this book will decide or establish a central and general doctrine that the whole body will accept. However, Ron does firmly believe that out of a heart of grief for the division in the body of Christ over major themes, and a zeal for believers to be one, he has been inspired to address these points of controversy. He has also committed himself to address these controversies in the simplest possible way, in the use of everyday layman's terms.
