Our desire as Christians is to know the God of the Bible. But who is he and what is he like? This fascinating book narrates three main events: Israel’s deliverance from Egypt (1-12a), the journey from Egypt to Mount Sinai (12b-18), and the receiving of the Law at Mt Sinai and instructions on building the…
I was touched by my mentor’s kindness. She shared with me her ministry experience for me to draw lessons from, as well as to help me grow my own ministry. I believe everyone has something useful to share with others regardless of our profession. In regard to our journey of faith, all of us have…
