By pointing to his trustworthiness and generosity, these ten-session LifeGuide® Bible studies can help you rest in the peace he offers.For over three decades LifeGuide Bible Studies have provided solid biblical content and raised thought-provoking questions—making for a one-of-a-kind Bible study experience for individuals and groups.
