Study the Bible
Have you ever wanted to get to know what the Bible really says but didn't know where to begin? If you live in the greater New York metro area I would be glad to meet with you and go through a series of basic lessons to help you study the Bible for yourself and become familiar with its message. Please note: This offer is made out of good will. Please don't contact me for debate. There are plenty of people online who will be more than happy to argue about religion, but I'm not one of them.
Send me an e-mail if you would like to study the Bible. If you do not live in the greater New York metro area or don't feel comfortable with one-on-one studies, why not find a congregation to visit in your area? Click here for a church locator.
