Introduction
If when reading the scriptures you always find yourself thinking, “this can be said in far fewer words” or, “this concept requires a diagram” or, “a table or chart would summarise this information much better”, then you are probably an engineer.
Engineers communicate through drawings, diagrams, charts and tables. Only when it is absolutely necessary do we give in and grudgingly succumb to using words.
This makes reading the scriptures very frustrating for me, unless I am having trouble sleeping and need something to help me drift off.
I shall try and write this guide as we progress through the cadence of “come follow me”
