2. This special anthology includes thirteen Bible narratives, uniquely retold by Master on various occasions that shed light on such topics as:

3. What types of spiritual messages do Bible stories reveal to readers? In which ways do these revelations apply to modern people’s lives?

4. In this book, as Supreme Master Ching Hai provides in-depth answers to these questions,

5. She also guides us to the ultimate road of salvation, the Quan Yin Method, which leads humanity to regain its Paradise lost.

6. In the first chapter of the Bible, Satan transforms himself into a serpent and lures one of the first humans, Eve, into a rebellious act against God’s wishes.

7. Today, one might wonder how we human beings can protect ourselves from this all-encompassing satanic web, especially the one created inside our own mind.

8. As Supreme Master Ching Hai comments in the first chapter entitled “The Garden of Eden,”

9. “The first story in the Bible has given us many good points to ponder and study.”

10. “It's not just a matter of fruit; it's a matter of discipline, mutual respect, cooperation and ego.”

11. “There are two people inside us: One’s the good guy and the other is the bad guy. The serpent is the bad guy in us. We know we shouldn’t do something,

12. but we still allow it to happen carelessly, or even intentionally, because we don’t have enough wisdom or good judgment.”

13. Following this first chronicle are many other extraordinary Bible stories, such as those of Noah, Lot and Moses.

14. “A similar event occurred in Noah’s time. It is clearly recorded in the Bible that at that time the whole world was corrupt.

15. People cared for nothing but mundane material things, and they had no morals, so God used the flood to cleanse the Earth.”

16. Supreme Master Ching Hai uses Biblical stories not only to help trace our spiritual origin but also to uncover our deep-rooted spiritual difficulties.

17. By doing so, She helps us examine our own fallacies in spiritual practice. She further provides us with the means of improvement.

18. As especially outlined in Her lecture “The Ten Commandments,” Master promises that in the end we will all be able to regain the once-lost Paradise.

19. On Christmas Eve 1990, the Costa Rica Center was illuminated by the tranquil glow of many candles.

20. Sitting in the softly radiant light and surrounded by disciples, Master began to re-tell the life story of Jesus Christ.

21. She also revealed some details about Jesus not previously known to the world.

22. “Jesus was the most remembered because of His greatness, because of His very short stay with us and [because of] the way He left us and was resurrected.”

23. “There were also some other Masters before Jesus; now people do not remember them so much as we remember Jesus.”

24. “Jesus was the Son of God. In other words, Jesus was God personified on Earth. He had to leave us very early. He had His purpose. He wanted to shock us out of slumber.”

25. God loves humankind eternally. From these Biblical stories, we can see how endlessly patient God has been in Hiers treatment of humans,

26. and how much grace Hes has bestowed upon us. God’s love for us has traveled through time and space, and followed us life after life.

27. Through this collection we wish to share with readers Supreme Master Ching Hai's profound wisdom,

28. in the hope that it serves as a reminder of God's eternal love for humanity.
