Quotes of the week

I have tried different Apps and different recommendations on how to study the Bible to understand… not just to say that I have read it. But this App is not only the best on the market but it also has a wide variety of options to learn from! I greatly appreciate the option to focus where and how I feel the need for my personal growth.
