Why is the Bible the number-one-selling book in the world and has been for decades?

Fall 2014
The characters! They are us in every way. From their flaws to their strengths, the men and women can guide and teach us about ourselves and about God.

Come explore and learn about the lives of some of the greatest and smallest biblical figures. From David, the greatest king Israel ever knew, to Jairus, the Jewish leader who threw himself at Jesus' feet.

These are the greatest stories ever told!

The class will have a relaxed conversational approach with lots of discussion and question/answer time.
