This book is a study guide for individuals and groups for use with the book "Walking the Bridgeless Canyon".

"This is not for the faint of heart, nor for Christians who want to be entertained. This is for hungry Bible students seeking vast, deep answers to a vast, deep subject""the all-important subject of Love. This book could and should be the standalone text for an 8 credit hour college course, mandatory for every accredited Bible student. And, it is a must for every layman who wants to understand the most important teachings of the Bible on a serious level." - Jesse Steele, Moody Bible Institute Alum This book is offered to help you love the Lord with your whole heart and to better know your Creator. It is intended to help clarify some lingering misunderstandings that trace back far into biblical history. The book deals with the righteousness and holiness of God as seen in His laws, but from a New Covenant perspective: love. Showing the distinction between the dispensational Law of Moses and the eternal and unchanging Law of God, the book focuses on love, as love is the focus of both the Law of God and the Law of Moses (Rom. 13:8). It's all about loving God with all your heart and loving your neighbor as yourself, even loving your enemy. With man this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible. These matters have the greatest bearing on our future reward in the heavenly kingdom and upon the power of our ministry today. With a clearer view of this line in the Bible, it is our prayer that we will all stand more confidently as we await and hasten the return of our Lord. Seek first his kingdom and its righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you. The book also covers emerging research regarding the 364-day calendar of the books of 1st Enoch and Jubilees, and how to manage it in a 365-day context. I think you will enjoy studying this with us. Think about it, your Creator wants to have dates with you, on the dates that his feasts have been observed in the heavens since creation. As we journeyed through these things I was humbled to receive seven dreams from the Lord to help shepherd us through, which I document in the appendix. Several in our extended family have also been warned and encouraged in dreams. The arm of Yahweh is not short to also give you dreams and other works of the coming kingdom. But it all begins with desperate searching in his Word. Keep asking, and you will receive. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you!
Repairing The BreachHave you ever met someone who was around your age but something was off about them? Maybe they are thirty in biological age, but when you talk to them, they have the actions and behaviors of someone who is nine years old. What about you, do you ever feel like you are an adult but inside there is a little girl or a little boy that never quite grew up? The truth of the matter is many individuals have grown up, created other children, married, divorced and have gone through life broken. When a person is emotionally broken their personality is altered in how they see themselves and how they see the world. Emotionally broken people create organized chaos within themselves, and their world. There have been entire nations that were birthed out of pure chaos. We live in a faulty world, with faulty thinking, that has created very damaged people. Boys have become men, but are still broken little boys. Girls have become women, but inside they are still broken little girls. Broken people end up being broken leaders, who have broken families, and live broken lives. We can't be who God has called us to be broken, wounded and not understanding who we are. This book is called to redeem the time. Now is the time for us to be what God has called us to be. We need to bridge the gap and repair the breach before we can walk in God authority and our kingdom mandate. The breach is found in you, but so is the greater healing.
