Lawrence College - Graphic Design
Institute of Children’s Literature - 3yrs.
About the same time that I started teaching Art, I also
started creating Sunday School Literature which
improved after I took studies in graphic design. I
created a series of books for children (grades Kinder-
garten - grade 11 so far), and a set of Bible Study books
for adults (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers,
Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, I Samuel, II Samuel
so far), and two teen books, one on the Tabernacle and
one on the New Birth. Since this time I achieved a
level four certificate for teaching Sunday School.
Besides teaching from these books myself, I have
sold sets to a couple of Pastors.
Each one of the children’s books has five sections:
A Character Test, a Bible Study section, A Story that
combines the motto and the animal or insect on the
front of the book, a Devotional section which gives the
children a chance to gain experience at home, and a
song that also combines the animal or insect and the
motto.
The adult Bible Study books start with Genesis, with
each book going through chapter by chapter and showing
the types and shadows and how they cross over into the
New Testament so that by the time the student has gone
through the Old Testament Books, they will have covered
the New Testament also.
My aim is not just to sell these books, but to offer free
Bible Studies to interested people in my local area. I will be
publishing, on my website, Bible Studies frequently, but there
is nothing like a personal, one-on-one study of the Bible.
I have been studying and reading the Bible since the day
that my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, came into my life

Divine Call (3)
How can we Determine a Divine Call today? Read Romans 8:1-9 Romans 8:5-8 “For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death: but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that ore in the flesh cannot please God.” Flesh = to be carnal Carnal = human thinking, not of the spirit It seems that way
Divine Call (2)
Jacob’s Divine Call Read Genesis 28:10-22 Genesis 28:19 “And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.” Luz = Almond Tree Bethel = House of God The word ‘Luz’ which occurs in Genesis 30:37, which some translations have as ‘hazel’, is supposed to be another name for the ‘almond’. Genesis 31:13 I am the God of Bethel, where thous anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.” Read Genesis 30:37-39 Notice what the ‘rods’
Divine Call
The Rod That Budded Read Numbers Chapter 17 ROD – rod, staff, Sceptre, sign of authority It is important to note that every prince of each tribe had a rod brought before Moses. All these Princes had some authority as regarded the tribes they were the head of. The question was: Who was God giving the ‘divine call’ to as far as pertaining to things of the Tabernacle. Judah Nahshon son of Amminadab Issachar Nethaneel son of Zuar Zebulon Eliab son of Helon Levi Aaron son of Amram Reuben Elizur son of Shedeur Simeon Shelumeil son of Zurishaddai Gad
Covenants (2)
Blood Covenant Read Exodus 24:1-8 The Hebrew word for covenant, (ber-eeth) means ‘to eat’ or ‘to cut’. This involved eating a sacrificial meal and the cutting of the flesh of an animal or the shedding of its blood. The Hebrew word (Khaw-bar) means ‘to join’ or ‘to have fellowship with’. This comes from an ancient Semitic word where the Arab and Nomad people became blood brothers by cutting their wrists of the hand, the blood ran into a cup and was mixed with wine and drank, signifying a ‘blood covenant’. Isaiah 49:16 “Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.”
Covenants
Abrahamic Covenant Read Genesis 12:1-3 “Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee; And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make they name great: and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” What was required of Abram under this covenant? What was God going to do if Abram obeyed? You will find this concept: “If you will….
