When I was a teen I was fortunate to grow up in a Christian home, even though my mom had to raise my sister and I on her own. She did a great job with keeping us in the Word of God. I remember I had this little black bible I use to use and when I had gotten a little older it began to fall apart. That bible made all the difference in my life and even though I made some very bad choices as a teen, I always knew that the fear of the Lord was the first step to wisdom and knowledge (Proverbs 1:7) so I always turned back to my little black book in my times of trouble, especially the book of Proverbs. I began to realize that book we call the inspired Word of God, the bible was alive and that it really could make a difference in any bodies life if they decided to follow it's principles and instructions. I began to do just that and my life was revolutionized!
Years later when I was in Bible college and preaching out at various youth services I bought me one of those little black books again only this time in a nice goat skin and I still use it today. I wanted to re-introduce this magnificent, God breathed and inspired piece of work to a generation that really only operates in a digital world and I wanted to do it in a way that they could use it on their phones, tablets and computers. So I am developing a digital download curriculum of the book of Proverbs, for a generation of young people who really has lost touch with picking up a bible, and the book of wisdom is one that ever young person needs to have in their arsenal of everyday life.
May you find this helpful and enjoyable in your Christian journey!
God Bless, Pastor Pierre D. Mayo
