From a youthful exposure to a Biblical metaphor, Warren has, in a biblical word study, gleaned helpful and insightful ruths. Often it is said, ' Put in a good word for me.' Warren has put in a good word to enrich the reader's understanding of 'crown' as it occurs in the Old and New Testaments. What began as an early exposure to the word in hymnody portraying an identity and a destiny, through a layman's sermon on the theme, to a four-year study of 'crown' becomes an integration of a lifelong faith journey and spiritual discovery. Through his review, 'crown' takes on a rich and symbolic significance. As he searches through the riches of the biblical materials, select commentaries rom iblical cholars,and his own interpretation,new insights unfold, giving richer meaning to the metaphor so frequently used in Christian literature.
