Wow, wow, wow!!!This is so good! So empowering to everyone, men, women, the quirky, the nonconformist, eccentric, outsider, etc! We can all be instruments in His hands! God loves all of us and will extend His grace to deliver us from any bondage as long as we are willing to call upon Him and obey His words!

I really love this program. Taylor and Tyler, you are both excellent teachers. I love your personal remarks and insights. You are both fun and funny. And you are both very encouraging in moving forward with faith. What a difference this has made for me in strengthening my faith, learning more about the gospel. Because I have made a consistent effort to immerse myself in the scriptures, I feel that I know my Heavenly Father in a more personal way. Studying along with you both has made such a difference. Please tell Avram Shannon he is SO MUCH FUN. He is a riot, and a great teacher. I would love to see him again. I really enjoyed this lesson.

What I loved was three men successfully sharing time to teach together in a marvellous way, showing no damaged egos and without any attempt to outdo each other.
Avram, the guest was so helpful in making things so simple and pertinent to me as the listener though I could tell his knowledge of the Old Testament to be deep as well as his grasp of the concepts. He was able to teach me simple things about how important we are to God and how many times God willingly accepts our mistakes and lets us begin again.
Tyler, I loved what you said "What an amazing thing it would be to spend less time comparing ourselves to each other and feeling either superior or inferior in those comparisons. What if we spent more of our time ..." ETC
That was pure inspiration and I've taken it to heart. Gail Hellings

[juliengel]

Absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and gifts with us. I appreciate the experts you have to clarify the essence of the lessons being taught. I have felt closer to my Savior by following along as you and your guests teach those of us who once thought the Old Testament was a bunch of stories about people whose names are difficult to pronounce that lived centuries ago. The Old Testament is alive with symbolism and is relevant in many ways to us. Incredible!!

[lindathomas]

Thank you for including an approximate time period. Avram made a number of incredibly insightful comments.

[daveweber]

"It's ok let's try again." -Jesus. What a powerful ending phrase to this book. Jesus has perfect love and will work with you even though you fall again and again. If you turn to God, He will have mercy, patience, and love for you and say, it's ok, let's try this again.

[candaceosborn]

My very favorite combination of scripture and delight! Thank you for the depth and joy.
