52 devotionals from the Bible
Inspirational devotionals published in Standard
Does God speak to us through His Word? Is the Old Testament relevant today? What
lessons does Gospel according to Luke have for us? What can we learn from Psalms? What does
the book of Job teach us? These and other similar questions are looked at in 52 brief devotional
articles.
These devotional articles were correlated with the Faith Connections
adult Sunday school curriculum. They were published in The
Standard, a weekly take-home piece published by what is now called The Foundry. These
were written while Barbara and I were serving as missionaries in
Italy.
