Book excerpt: "God holds ultimate control over all His creation. He establishes laws, insitutions, and authority to maintain order in His creation. He delegates authority to men to regulate condiuct and maintain peace in thehome, the church, and the government. But that in no way deminishes God's authority over all things. We properly exercise authority only as we subject ourselves to God and to those whom He has set over us. as we submit to God and his delegated authority, we achieve our highest purpose and ultimate usefulness. If we resist God's will and rebel against those whom He has set over us, we condemn ourselves." -- back cover
