I really enjoyed this chapter. It was definitely packed full of useful information about the will of God and how that differentiates from the will of man and the will of Satan. The benefits of learning and following the will of God was definitely the more impactful part for me. I always want to be in God’s will,…

This introductory chapter was really helpful to get the basic facts down before moving on. I appreciated the different Bible verses to relate to each basic fact that I just took for granted. It’s always nice to remember why you believed something, and be able to tie it back to Scripture.

This was a lengthy chapter, but it was so full of usefull information. I really enjoyed learning what the different symbols in the Bible meant and how they can deepen my understanding of God and His Word. I thought I understood most of the symbols, but I learned so much more by reading through these descriptions.
