Apples of Gold in Settings of Silver: Applied Christianity 301 is the third and final part of a three-part series. It contains the third set of compilation of my favourite scriptures and quotes on different topics that would pass as words aptly spoken. The entire series was inspired by Proverbs 25:11 – “A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.” (NIV) It is the truth spoken to the body of Christ in love that will make every one of us grow and become like Him; with each and every one getting involved. Each chapter concludes with a section called “Apple Seeds”; these “apple seeds” are nuggets intended by the author to emphasize key points of the chapter and then invites the reader to identify their own “Apple seeds” so the reading of the book is not just a ritual but an experience. So I recommend that you “read with a pencil!” Walk The Talk, Live The Faith, Build On The Rock
