  • "i wasn't excpeting to be asked questions but I'm glad he did. It challenged me to think a little be more on what I thaought." -- Clarissa P.
  • "Overall, this course was a good refresher for Bible stories I already knew, but I learned a great deal both from stories I was not familiar with and from stories that described the culture or history of the times. This course has given me a good foundation before joining Bible study groups at our church and for understanding Bible stories brought up in our minister's sermons. Most helpful were the supplemental readings. Also the instructor ('Mac')gave informative video lectures, visual and audio learning experiences that enhanced my appreciation of the Bible stories. 'Mac' is very personable, down to earth, and I would like to take more courses for which he's the instructor." -- Donna B.
