PW Study Offerings for 2009/2010
1.) Horizon Bible Study: Joshua: A Journey of Faith
Where you will explore the challenging sometimes hear-wrenching, book of Joshua. Pursuing such themes as leadership, the promise of land, the concept of “holy war,” and outsiders becoming insiders, we learn ultimately to find rest in the justice and mercy of God. Cost of book is $7 (Horizon Magazine subscribers receive this automatically)

This book will cost approximately $10.00
