A Chronological Study Of The Life of Jesus, by Gene Taylor. The Fourfold Gospel by J.W. McGarvey and Philip Y. Pendleton is regarded as a classic work. For many years brethren have used it in Bible classes to study the gospels in chronological order. There has never been a study guide to accompany it -- that is, until now. This workbook was developed to meet that need. This class book does not have to be used in connection with The Fourfold Gospel. It can be an independent study using only it and the Bible (PDF file size: 812k).

The Godly Man, by Gene Taylor. While it is important for men to develop their skills to effectively participate in a public way in the worship services, it is equally important, if not more so, for them to learn what God would have them to be and do as husbands and fathers. If more men would live by the principles set forth in God's word in this area, as well as in all others, their homes would be a great blessing to them, their wives and children. We present this study with that hope in mind. As we direct you to the teachings of the word of God on being a good Christian, a good husband and a good father, we hope you will not only learn what those teachings are but will make a diligent effort to apply those instructions in your life so that you will be the kind of man God wants you to be (PDF file size: 310k).
