In marketing The Milky Way, David conducted a simple survey asking believers (not recent converts) if they could list, and if so, elucidate about Christ's six basic teachings. 90% of believers surveyed were unable to list one, let alone provide an example of the teaching working in their life. Surprising, since these teachings (doctrines) are clearly listed in Hebrews 6:1-3. David was astonished, but also spurred to get The Milky Way to market. The need is great!
He began pressing believers about their core beliefs and found many had never thought deeply about it-they followed whatever was presented from a pulpit or modern commentary. The 10% who did know Christ's six basic teachings were split between two groups. 1) Some seemed to have received a disjointed smattering of relative instruction-helpful. 2) Others firmly latched onto the underpinning nature of the doctrines of Christ-better. These are what David calls, awake believers.
Here is one such encounter, ""David, we've been blessed with a good teacher on the Foundational Principles as recorded in Hebrews 6:1-3. These are ingredients like that of cement. If you're solid in these teachings you will never be moved off of Christ the rock." Well said, and I sent a note to his teacher parroting 3 John 1:4.""
David knows The Milky Way will introduce you to Christ's six basic teachings-the oracles of God. He maintains these are spiritual milk, designed by Father, to nourish and immunize the spiritual man-His children. The principles of these teachings become a firm foundation or path on which the believer can better navigate life. He prays that Bible teachers everywhere take up the cause, provide in depth instruction, and turn the alarming 95% need ratio into a far lower number-like 0.
In an age of error, The Milky Way helps you begin on the narrow path. Read it, and buy one for another believer.
