A valuable book that clarifies the importance of wisely managing what the Lord allows us to enjoy on this earth. With detailed arguments always supported by the Word of God, Juan Carlos Ortiz helps the reader understand that their role in this earthly life is simply that of an administrator of the resources God gives us, and how such administration is destined to end when life concludes. All attention is directed towards heavenly things, towards the "Bank of Heaven," where neither moth nor rust deteriorate and corrode. The author also addresses a topic rarely covered by preachers because it is not very popular: the payment of tithes and offerings. A text that can be read individually, but also used in small groups for study and meditation.

What is the point of reading the Bible?It can be read for information, for edification, and for comfort. All these readings can be useful. However, God's plan revealed in Scripture is not just information or a word of personal comfort. It leads the reader into a much deeper project.

The biblical pages place this people within an overarching plan that gives it meaning and serves the glory of God.From Freedom to Praise seeks to place the reader within the fabric of biblical history.It therefore traces the broad outlines of biblical revelation, suggesting that there is a Lord capable of giving meaning to life.

Paul, the great apostle, a man like all of us who was chosen by God for a grand mission, thus becoming a giant of thought and spirit who rose above the minds of his time and those of subsequent centuries, almost to the point of being incomprehensible to small human intellects, as the apostle Peter already wrote about Paul's letters: "In them there are some things hard to understand..." (2 Peter 3:16). Endowed with great human and Christian character, Paul was a thinker, preacher, tireless missionary, and church founder. His life embodied and extraordinarily highlighted the truth of the Gospel. He moved among people with an understanding of their problems and a desire to show them a better way. He felt gripped by a great vision and was determined to implant it in the heart of humanity. Dr. Achille A. Caprino was one of the most important members of the Italian-American evangelical community. He met the Lord in 1934, at the age of 19, and from 1938 he began his work of evangelization and teaching among the Italian people. In 1941 he was ordained to the ministry by the Assemblies of God in America and began teaching in their Bible schools, of which he became Superintendent for the Italian branch in 1969. He pastored six Italian churches in America. He completed his studies first at the Reformed Episcopal Seminary, then at Temple University and the American School of Law where he graduated with a law degree. He was the founder and director of the Evangelical Bible Correspondence School.
