Always Ready Willie Alvarenga

ALWAYS READY Three Purposes of this book:

1. To assist students of the Bible find passages that they want to use in their Bible class or sermon.

2. To provide several passages to several Bible topics. 3. To provide an idea of some of the passages that can be memorized by

those who enjoy memorizing the Scriptures.

I encourage each and every one of us to read, study, and memorize the following topics and verses that are shown in this book. I believe this will help us to always be ready to give an answer, and also to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (1 Peter 3:15; 2 Peter 3:18). Let us take the study of God’s Word very seriously. And also let us remember that our salvation depends upon our attitude toward God and His Holy Word.
