The Hidden Words
There are words on the front cover of the book that have been intentionally subdued, interwoven into the blocks and mortar of our Bridge to the New Testament. Some of them are really (really) hard to see, made that way on purpose! The words are downplayed because the creation of history is, at times, rather subdued. Countless small events worked together over the years to become significant events. Individuals with big egos created kingdoms and empires with the history to go along with them. Fledgling gatherings of people founded the institutions upon which they built their societies. Herein lies the purpose of the bookâto explore the seeds of seemingly inconsequential events in the inter-testament period and how they grew to have a profound effect on the people and events of the New Testament. So, take a moment and see if you can find these words on the front:

Here is how the cover looks without the words exposed (by the way, some are harder to see online than on the printed copy):
But wait, don't scroll down yet!
Are you giving up that easily? Are you sure you want to do this? Once you see them, you can't unsee them.
OK, here we go. Now here is the cover with the words bolded. Now can you see them?
