This book tells us >> how >> we can be happy and know what God wants us to do. This guide book, or >> book >> of instructions, is called the Bible. In all of these lessons, we shall >> use >> the Bible as we study.

He became a chaplain working as a minister to other men in the >> condition >> he once was when he first came to the prison. He was well-liked and other >> prisoners looked forward to his visits.
