Truth Applications is a title designed to reflect a determination to search for, understand, and explain truth. I believe  that, as Immanuel, Jesus embodies and reveals the most significant truth (John 1:14; 8:32; 14:6, 9; 17:17). I believe everyone should know, love, and live in imitation of his example and teaching. My search is admittedly incomplete since I am, by virtue of limited understanding and failure to match God's glory, imperfect. But, like Paul, I seek to better "know him . . . , pressing on . . . because Christ Jesus has made me his own" (Philippians 3:12). ~ David Anguish

Go to the CarChlex Books page for
​information about my book Getting Acquainted with the Bible​ and how to order review and discounted copies for churches and schools.

"David Anguish's Getting Acquainted with the Bible will be useful to teachers as the second or third stage in strengthening new Christians, and as a needed training component for many who have been in the faith several years. I've worked with churches either part-time or full-time for nearly 69 years, and I've detected a high percent of members who are ignorant of the basic storyline of Scripture. Digesting Anguish's book can set people up for decades of healthy feeding on Scripture."

"an incidental or passing remark, opinion, etc." ~ Dictionary.com

Quotations I've found especially thought-provoking
“In the Gospel it says, ‘You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.’ It is fascinating, astounding. What does this mean: It means that the path to freedom lies not in the fact that the parliament makes a law of greater freedom today, but [rather] that you have to go through the truth. And if you go through truth just a little, then you will no longer say things such as, ‘Well, if the people are good, truth doesn’t matter.’”
​— Aleksander Solzhenitsyn, in David Aikman, “One Word of Truth: A Portrait of Aleksander Solzhenitsyn,” Unriddling Our Times: Reflections on the Gathering Cultural Crisis, ed. Os Guinness, p. 110

“Christ appeared on earth ‘once for all, at the consummation of the ages, to put away sin by his self-sacrifice’ (Heb. 9:26). It is not that the consummation of the ages was the time when, as it happened, he appeared; it is rather that his coming and achievement made that particular time the consummation of the ages. In this way the finality of God’s revelation in him is emphasized.” — F. F. Bruce, The Defense of the Gospel in the New Testament, rev. ed., 90
