Great Resource
Thank you John Piper for such an amazing tool to study the Word of God with! If you just do one, you will learn so much. If you follow though from the beginning, you will see it all connect together! You won’t be able to do just one!😉
Great way to study the bible.
This is a great resource to use for bible study. I have been studying the bible for years and journaling for months at a time, this tool has taken bible study and application to a new level.
