      A Purpose-Filled God

      Shadows of the Almighty (Pictures of Christ from Adam to Joseph)

      By Kendall T. Shoulders

      Published by Kendall T. Shoulders at Smashwords

      Copyright © 2010 Kendall T. Shoulders.

      This book is available in print at most on-line retailers.

      This book is dedicated to the three women in my life for always supporting me – even in the midst of my failures. These women are my Wife (Samantha), my Daughter (Kennedi) and my Mother (Winnie).

      Foreword

      This book will be the first in a series that will allow the reader to see the plan of God through Old Testament shadows. Until this material was released, many of the author’s students had discarded the Old Testament in their studies simply because they failed to understand its true application. God has always drawn specific pictures of Himself in the scriptures. He has also given His people the opportunity through the Holy Spirit to unveil those pictures and mysteries. He uses natural elements in the Old Testament to explain spiritual principles. This brief study will uncover how God uses Adam and others such as Cain, Abel, Seth, Noah and Joseph to explain his plan of redemption. He allows us to understand that His plan was the same in the beginning as it is today.

      Once the reader begins to take a small glimpse at the depth and detail of God’s plan, he/she will begin to understand that only an omnipotent God can reveal Himself in detail(not vaguely) through different writers, eras, and dimensions without making an error. The author believes that every detail is significant and that the Word of God is perfect in its original language. This study covers Adam through Joseph but future studies will include other awesome pictures as seen through Moses, Joshua and others as the Holy Spirit gives utterance.

      In Memory

      In loving memory of my grandmother Martha Mo Phillips:

      Words can’t seem to express the void

      So, I won’t even try

      There’s not enough tears that I can shed

      So, I’ll do my best not to cry

      I can’t wait until the Last Trump sounds

      And we’re all together again

      Our family together with our LORD

      In a world that has no end

      Also in loving memory of my grandfather Arthur Shoulders:

      The last time we talked, it was with laughter and joy. It’s amazing because the first time that we talk in eternity will be with laughter and joy.

      Also in loving memory of my grandfather Ellis Griffis:

      We’ve lost so many others in the past couple of years. There’s been so many that I don’t want to risk leaving

      anyone out. You’re all in my thoughts and we’ll be

      together soon.
