Contents of the study

Study Booklet 2 focuses on New Testament characters, looking at their circumstances, struggles, temptations, spiritual defeats and victories. As you study these characters, you will see that the word translated “but” (or another word with similar meaning) often represents a turning point or decision point in their lives; and you will see how lessons from these characters are remarkably relevant to our lives here in the 21st century.
