ENUMCLAW, Wash., Jan. 25, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Have you ever wondered what relevance Old Testament stories have for Christians today? When William Troth read the apostle Paul's assertion that they happened as an example and were written for our instruction, he began to research Israel's history.

The result is Troth's newly released book, "The Milk and Honey Man: Happened to Them--Written for Us." The author takes readers back through the wanderings of the Israelites. Then using the Bible, thoughts of experts, and his own research, he writes to help believers understand principles and truths relating to the promised Messiah.

"Bill Troth has given the body of Christ a gift with this book, one of the most extensive treatments I have ever seen on the lessons from Israel's experiences from Egypt to the Promised Land," says Dr. John Best of Exchanged Life Ministries Texas.

The Rev. George H. Sawyer, senior pastor of Calvary Assembly of God in Decatur, Alabama, agrees. "'The Milk and Honey Man' is both a source of encouragement and a road map to a deeper life with Christ," he says.

One of the book's unique features is its abundance of simple diagrams and chronological maps. Pastor Barry Sempsrott of the Austinville Church of God believes the illustrations "unveil the simplicity of all God wants us to have, and already have."

Writing in easy-to-understand language, Troth gives believers the opportunity to gain a rich understanding of what it means to embrace the life of milk and honey -- a symbol of God's best. "If there were a contest for the rewriting of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress as a non-allegorical work," says Ken Godevenos, president of SCA International in Toronto, Canada, "William Troth's 'The Milk and Honey Man' would win hands down."

Bill Troth received his four-year Master of Theology degree from Dallas Theological Seminary. He and his wife live in Decatur, Alabama.
