keep in the process of
knowing God through His
written word.

meditate on the written Word of
God, your faith will be stirred and
a transformation of your inner
being will begin to take place.

in your new (or renewed)
relationship with God.

throughout the lessons of this study, you will find
valuable insight and understanding into the realm of
