  1. Love your Bible Studies! I can’t believe you allow them to be used for free. A group of about 8 of us old gals from church have been doing Mark. Great in-depth look at the end of Christs earthly life. It also encourages us to look at other sources for information. Even though we are all old. (younger at heart than years) we are all learning. I cant thank you enough for the free preview. So many othet authors books are a bit pricy for our budgets and then not what we want to study. Just discovered you a few weeks ago and so glad I did.

    1. Please post a review of the book “Heartbreak to Hope: Good News from Mark” on Amazon. Just sign in to your account and scroll down the page to post the review. Thank you.
