Free Seminars Spaced Throughout the Year.

During Read the Bible for Life in 2012, you can receive training in how to read the various parts of Scripture well and how to apply the Word—once you understand it—to life.

Why – In our own culture we understand that different types of literature work in different way, such as comic pages, history books, poems, and novels.  God inspired the biblical writers to use a variety of types of literature, including stories, poetry, proverbs, parables, and others.
