The leader's guide for Bible studies from our People of the Old Testament series. Two studies on Adam and Eve. Two studies on Abraham and Sarah. Available for 1.99 USD at Smashwords.

Our People of the Old Testament Bible studies explore the lives of men and women who lived before Jesus walked on earth. We look at how God worked in their lives and the role they may have played in God’s plan of salvation.

In May 2012 we will have additional resources related to these studies available on our blog.
