Guard the Good Deposit

10 • Guard the Good Deposit: The Great Tradition for the Whole Church

I can think of no one who is better equipped to write a definitive, instructive, and utterly useful book on this subject. It is clear, concise, and truly inspiring. He and I both agree that when biblical truths are articulated simply and boldly, they will surely refresh the spirit and enlighten the mind. Prepare yourself for such an experience as you meditate on the truths within this short but weighty book. Having experienced the majesty of God’s revealed truths about Jesus Christ, I suspect that those who understand the biblical story of God will surely recognize it as a treasure, a masterpiece, a one-of-a-kind blessing. It is priceless, a message that must be studied, embodied, and shared with everyone for what it is – the words of eternal life. I have little doubt that those who read Ryan’s book slowly – with curiosity and care – will recognize the tremendous value of the Story of God, the message of hope that is provided in the Gospel, and challenge to every believer to guard this good deposit given to us by the Father to defend. May all of us who believe be empowered through God’s Holy Spirit to guard the good deposit that the Father has given to his people to delight in, and to share with the world. Rev. Dr. Don L.
