TESTIMONIAL
FROM GARDEN GROVE, CA
“Dr. Darrell Franken is definitely on the right wave-length to bring the message of wholeness into the 21st century. He and I share a philosophy of reaching the whole person to understand the gospel message in its entirety. I am confident the material in his book is biblically sound, theologically substantive and is powerful enough to transform peoples’ lives to be socially healthy and whole individuals.”
Rev. Dr. Robert A. Schuler
FROM INDIA
“I have started teaching your Christianology course systematically at our Mission India Bible College. Students are highly delighted and they are very interested in studying this subject. I give the students some time to practice it (mentoring) at the end of the class hour. With one accord they say that ‘Mentoring will transform our country, especially our churches.’ It is a unique subject and there is no where they could study such practical lessons. They are very happy with it.”
“Again, if God willing, we would like to print some more texts on “Reaching One’s Optimum Potential’ in Malayalam (Indian language). It has become very urgent. Five of my friends, after realizing the need, have agreed to share money for printing 50 texts and I am trying to meet some more of my friends here to sponsor another 50 texts. I am very sure that God would open a way for me. If that happens I would print 100 more texts for our students and pastors in the next month itself.”
Rev. S. P. Samuel (Trivandrum India)
FROM SAN MARCOS, CA
“In this series is a wealth of soundly psychological and thoroughly biblical material that can empower persons to understand, realize and actually achieve the Fruit(s) of the Spirit in all of its awesome fullness in their Christian experience.”

HOW IS THIS PROGRAM THE NEXT STEP UP
IN CHRISTIAN BIBLE STUDY?
BIBLE STUDY
1. Starts with a text
2. Understands the history
3. Interprets Greek and Hebrew
4. Evaluates the customs of the time
5. Describes the characters
6. Tells the story
7. Adds items from the other texts
8. Does cross referencing
9. Defines terms (as “justification”)
10. Makes personal applications
11. Discusses appropriate themes
12. Sends home minimal information
13. Etc.
This system repeats information that some persons have heard many times.
Boredom sets in when members go through the Moses and the Red Sea story.
Or when they go with Daniel into the Lion’s Den like they did 14 times in the first 14 years of their lives.
CHRISTIANOLOGY
1. Starts with a human predicament
2. Describes the predicament (e.g. grudge)
3. Checks all Bible references for “grudge”
4. Takes information from internet.
5. Correlates info from novels, history,.
6. Bible info supported science, research
7. Divides class into pairs, discusses.
8. Deals with what to do in situations - lifeskills
9. Inspires members to take up “accountability.”
10. Provides resolutions for problems
11. Sends home summary sheet to teach children or others.
12. Uses teaching helps, as in Power Point Presentations, inventories, diagrams, sketches, scenarios,
13. Etc.
Members are brought up to date information from the Bible and a number of other sources.
Members are trained to integrate, share information, deal with inventories, magazine articles,
real life scenarios, etc. — It is a very practical program that helps bond more church members into the unity of Christ.
