Customer Reviews
A child of God who's saved by God's grace. Jesus Christ my Savior.
This program Cross Defense is much appreciated. Often times, we have questions and not knowing who's got the Biblical answer. We ought to know Christ crucified and as well as the topics this program educates, so that, we won't be fooled by what's telling us out there. This helps us grow spiritually, a matured Christian.
