Description
Book Introduction
A Guide to the Right Biblical Political Perspective for This Age!!
Political issues are very important issues that are closely related to our lives.
However, in these important areas, conflicts arise due to differing opinions, and much pain is caused because they are not taught correctly even within the church.
We now have a precious gift that clearly and unambiguously establishes what constitutes biblical standards.
This book is a standard in its field, covering a wide range of topics, including politics, government, worldview, nation, life, marriage, family, economics, law, and culture.
Through this book, believers will find great help in making sound decisions by reexamining their vague political views through the lens of the Bible.
