Henry had no intention of taking the crown for himself; it was given to him by popular acclaim.

It has an introduction on how the book is to be used, a history section, so that the prospective student gets an idea, under which conditions the apostles worked in order to put God's word into useful help. It contains 21 study periods ( eight in the first study, and 13 in the second study) An addenda has been added at the rear of the book, cross-referenced to the studies, it has several Bible verses explained in lengthy detail, finally the last section of the book contains discussion topic questions, which can be used by the moderator, or Bible-Study leader to insert at any time, or pose these questions to the students, as a sort of homework. each study period also has an exposition at the end of the study, which either can be used for a fast recap of the session, or as a lead-in for the next session.
