10TH EDITION:  The 10^th Edition is the original version that has been professionally edited and includes the updated cover pictured here.  This edition also includes Randall’s Secret, End Notes, Bibliography and the complete index of all Scriptural References used throughout the story.  The KJV is the version used and referenced within the story.

DISTRIBUTING AT OUR PRINTING/PRODUCTION COST:  In 2018 we stripped all profit from our products and began offering them at our printing/production costs in an effort to expand the distribution of the work and to help the church reach the largest number of people at the lowest possible price.

The response has been overwhelmingly positive, so we have decided to extend the offer throughout this current batch of 5,000 print copies.  Supplies are limited due to the response and demand.
