Book Study:
Daniel: Lives of Integrity, Words of Prophecy |
Beth
Moore's study, Daniel: Lives of Integrity, Words of Prophecy shows
how individuals can live with integrity in today's self-absorbed society. Join
Beth in a faith-building study of prophecy and learn how to shine for Christ in
our modern culture. Just as the prophet Daniel faced unbelievable pressures—to
compromise his faith, to live in a hostile culture, and to confront temptations
and threats—today's believers face many of the same trials.
This 12-session study, falls in two parts. The first portion,
from Daniel chapters 1-6, deals with Daniel's life as he faced the kind of
pressures and temptations Christians encounter today. Daniel models how to
develop enduring integrity in an enticing world. The second portion, chapters
7-12, explores thrilling prophecies from the time of Daniel through the second
coming of Christ." Study book: $15.00
