New Book: Great Buts in the Bible
An Engaging Bible Study
One word can be transformative. A single word makes all the difference when you ask or are asked, “Will you marry me?” A “yes” or “no” can make or break your life.
In Scripture, a single word can transform a verse, a passage, and sometimes the direction of a story. This word is “but. ” This small conjunction is often overlooked but becomes powerful when examined closely.
The title of this book is intentionally provocative, designed to capture attention and encourage closer examination. By doing so, you are likely to remember the verses, stories, and biblical truths presented in each chapter. Join me for an engaging and impactful Bible study that explores some of the Great Buts in the Bible.
