Answers From The Book
http://www.answersfromthebook.org/
In a world where there are countless ideas and opinions, is it possible to know what the Truth is? Is it possible to find real answers to life’s toughest questions?
"Answers From The Book" is about where to turn to find these answers. We can find answers in the Bible- the Word of God. Our Creator did not intend for us to go through life without direction. He left His instructions, commandments, promises, and words of comfort within the Scriptures that we might know how to live our lives. In a world where there are countless ideas and opinions, it is possible to know the only ideas and opinions that truly matter and will endure for eternity.
