Life Principles from the New Testament Men of Faith

THIS BOOK IS THE FIFTH in a series of five books designed to provide a personal look at the lives of key characters found in the Bible. The theme Following God is one that emphasizes the importance of building a relationship with God, living a life totally surrendered to His leading. Examples are given of those who received blessing from a surrendered walk with God as well as those who did not follow His direction. This Bible study is designed in an interactive format, incorporating important Scriptural points of interest. Other features include a look at the characters mentioned from a historical perspective, as well as interesting facts about the time when these characters actually lived.
