AramThis was my first course. So much like the format which allows one to listen and/or read simultaneously. Teacher did a great job. Material was separated into manageable segments.

CamSo good so practical. And so doable
DonaldMy wife and I are really enjoying the lectures on prayer. You’d think that people in their mid-70’s who spent their career in pastoral ministry would have this “Prayer thing” mastered… but the lectures are so practical and helpful. We’re actually listening together for our “devotions”!
RayThis course answered some questions for me and confirmed what I had already been practising.
