ENDORSEMENTS
“Back to the Bible has conducted extensive research, which has been thoroughly incorporated into these pages. I love how Worry-Free Living engages me with such relevant facts, but what I really appreciate is that Arnie and Michael have developed a tool that can assist us all in our dialogue with one another. The ‘Recap and Reflect’ feature helps me to hear from God through others—and that may be the most important thing of all.”

And the couple and group discussion worksheets, paired with the Bible studies, make this a valuable resource for churches.”
