Dear Friend,

Please find enclosed with this letter a unique kind of "CD" you perhaps may have never experienced before. It is a Bible-quoting and gospel-song composition described as pointing "the listener to Jesus as the only place to go in the face of adversity, pain, fear and discouragement." It is an excellent mixture of some of the most beloved and important verses of the Bible plus "spiritual songs" and it takes less, as you can see, than 32 minutes to hear.

I recommend that you: take 32 minutes of your life once this week, eliminate all potential distractions and follow along with the listener's guide below. Fill in the missing blanks (answers in endnotes) to aid your listening with understanding. You will find the composition a very welcome companion for your life– something to come back and experience again and again because of the supernatural value of the Bible (see Psalm 1:1-3 and Joshua 1:8) and the effect of "songs, hymns and spiritual songs" (Col 3:16) that cause us to "sing with grace in our hearts to the Lord."

We hope you will share this with someone you love after you've seen it. Call me if you want more information. God Bless You!

(3:34) Song: God Will Take Care of You (Altar of Praise)

Matthew 6: 25-34 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father ______________ 5 them. Are ye not much better than they?

27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29 And yet I say unto you, That even ___________________ 6 in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly ___________ 7 knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the _______________ 8 of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

(1:30) Song: I'm With You (Stutzman Family)

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than ______________ 10 through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Philippians 4: 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by _____________ 14 and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on _________________ 28 .

54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
