We have a pretty good video we use as an introduction to the bible - how it was put together, how to approach it etc.  The content is really good, but it was filmed in the late 70s or early 80s and features a “cool” guy wearing white shoes and belt.  This series  from the […]

This makes some sense in light of the recent criticism of Signposts, its hosts, and its ‘not nice’ commentators:
