SEMINAR #1: HOW WE GOT THE BIBLE
Have you ever wondered where the Bible came from?
Or how God worked in human authors to produce this holy book?
Or why some books were included while others were not?
We’ll cover these topics and more in the first seminar, as we explore how we got the Bible that we have today.  LOOKING FOR BIBLE TRANSLATIONS.  SCROLL DOWN...

SEMINAR #2: THE STORY OF GOD
The Bible is a long book that tells a complex story that spans thousands of years. It's no wonder that it's so easy to get lost in the details and fail to see how it all fits together. The second seminar covers the entire Story from Genesis to Revelation in less than 90 minutes.
