What Other Students Are Saying
"Never have I heard the word in such a way that I now fully "get it". I have been a Christian for approximately 25 years, but my relationship with the Lord had gotten cold and I no longer felt the love for the Bible I had in the past. I so appreciate your teaching and am now on fire for the Lord again. I am also sharing your teaching with my friends who expressed their love for your way of teaching. Thank you"

"Found it very down to earth, just the facts without all the "religious" attachments. I look forward to experiencing this course."
Mike
Student in The Basics University
"Your use of illustrations makes things so much easier to learn. I'm very familiar with the Bible, and what it says, but learning what it means, with your help, has made it come alive for me. I realize knowing is not the same as believing. Thank you for sharing so much of your life so others can benefit from God's blessings."
