Three Little Words: God’s Truth in Simple Terms

Three Little Words: God’s Truth in Simple Terms

Terry Ferguson. Grand Rapids, Mich.: Discovery House Publishers, 2014. 256 pp. (Paperback).

Bet you think the “Three Little Words” are “I love you,” don’t you? That’s what I thought — and the author does say that those are the words that form the underlying message of the book, but there are more than 250 three-word phrases throughout this book that are used to convey God’s truth. 

Each page of the book is headed by three words then followed by three verses from the Bible that support that concept. 

Since the book was written primarily as a tool to share biblical truths with the author’s children, the phrases are clear-cut and simple: “Put God First,” “God Doesn’t Change,” “Keep Your Word,” and of course “Obey Your Parents.” Simple and easy but also solid little reminders directly from God’s Word. Great for kids but it seems to me the book would be equally useful and effective for adults. If you are looking for a small but meaningful gift or stocking stuffer for Christmas, then “Three Little Words” would be a good idea. 

The author, Terry Ferguson, is a member of Ezra Baptist Church, Bessemer.
