"If we are to be considered the salt of the Earth, then we should give people a thirst, a thirst for knowledge," Larry Blacketer, the ever-studious author and teacher, said.
Whether a well-versed student of the Bible or a member of the uninitiated, Blacketer's new book, "Musings of a Lifetime Bible Teacher," provides easy understanding through the application of real life examples and personal stories.
"I consider myself to be a constant student," Blacketer said, "My natural curiosity has led me to discover previously unseen meanings in well known passages of the Bible as well as finding applications for even the most obscure passages."
Blacketer writes so he can share with a wider audience the beautiful hidden treasures within Scripture that he has discovered during his 40 years of teaching.
"Jesus was able to illustrate the truths of his teachings by utilizing everyday events," Blacketer said, "I find this method makes the information relatable and relevant to those who struggle to think abstractly. My students have always found it beneficial."
"Musings of a Lifetime Bible Teacher" helps people realize that all Scriptures can be applied to the modern world when one finds the deeper meaning within them.
