GOD saves
God found me at my lowest. I was in a devasted place and I made Him a promise the if he got me out of it, I would serve Him. And He did! I went back on my promise, but He reminded me of it, and I knew I had no choice but to surrender my life to Him.
AMAZING
I love everything about this course, not only is free but is helping me grow closer to GOD and understanding his love for us and is also making me want to learn more. I love that the videos are short and sharp and very thorough with explanations, also that every explanation has scriptures to back up the statement which makes this course💯 legit.
Clear and thorough
This was awsome so much about scripture unpacked and made clear and definately provides a deeper understanding of what it means to grow in god thanks

Analyse and Apply the Bible was actually brrilliant
Loved opening and learning how to use and read a study bible. it was the first practical application and the course has so much content which would be great if we can slow it down a fraction and do more group or practical exercises.
How I am learning to understand the Bible more.
This unit has opened up my eyes as to how to understand the Bible more – not just reading it, but digging deeper into the meaning of what has been written. I admit it has been a struggle to understand and apply it fully, but I am sure the more that I do it, the more I will be able to understand. Thank you for opening up the scriptures to me.
A Study Bible? Why?
I asked my tutor recently why it took seventy years for someone to tell me about the Study Bible? I mean really?
I am only just starting to understand just how much more I am hearing the depth of Gods word by using this amazing Bible. Now I am really enjoying the challenge of analysing and applying His Word in my life.
We should be encouraging our youth groups to start their journey with this amazing provision to grow in knowledge and application at their age, not at mine. Think how much they would mature in their faith.
Is it reasonable to be a person of faith? How can we deal with issues of suffering, science, violence, abuse and the supernatural in our consideration of God? Towards Belief is a series that sets out to provide responses to these big questions.
