Dr. Gerald Newsom's Homiletical Bible Commentary

About the Book

This book was written by me in order to hopefully assist greatly those busy pastors and evangelists, who fervently desire to obtain stimulating, sound, and biblically based sermonic ideas that would prime them to produce the very best in effective preaching and teaching of God’s Holy Word and to serve as a master guide book for lay people from all walks of life who are eager to learn in a down-to-earth manner the truths of The Holy Bible.

Indeed, every minister, Sunday School teacher, and all those others that love The Holy Scriptures should want to have on their book shelves copies of this exhaustive work of love that has the ability to well-arm the reader with knowledge to use in God’s employ!

My goal was to be used of God fully in such a way that He would allow me to pen that which would literally cause The Holy Bible to come alive in the hearts of every open-hearted partaker of what was imparted from The Lord for my delivery to others.

I sincerely pray that those who study carefully this beloved labor of my soul will feel the grandeur of a walk through the beautiful art gallery of The Scriptures and will behold the masterpieces that God painted with masterful skill in the form of biblical unfoldings.

It is my hope that this book will be wonderfully a blessing to countless numbers of people in helping them to look deeply into Bible prophecies with a perception that can aid them to see step by step what the future holds for the redeemed and the lost!

During my life, I have spent much time in the careful process of thoroughly studying God’s Word on a verse by verse basis from Genesis to Revelation; therefore, I have sought to express on paper some of the thoughts that I have received in a God-inspired way from this greatest of all books to me: The Bible.

It is my desire that the fruit contained in my book, which represent many years of devoted labor will permit ministers to have easy to understand thoughts at their fingertips, as they weekly endeavor to feed The Lord’s people and will stir up the souls of all lovers of God’s Word.

Truly, those persons, who have not been fortunate enough to engage in university or seminary studies should be especially blessed by this work, which was created through many hundreds of hours of personal study, as The Holy Spirit guided my efforts through the glorious corridors of the precious Treasure House of God!

May God richly bless each individual who uses the contents of this book for the greater glory of God’s Kingdom and for the salvation of many souls! May this book cause the truths of The Bible to leap off its pages into the waiting vessels of hungry lives! May it bring each reader to be able to clearly see in a thrilling manner that which God has declared in His totally inspired Book of books!
