Conflict & Courage
by The Angel with a Strong Voice (TAWASV)
The Bible record of men and women of ancient times presents backgrounds so broad and diverse that every modern person may identify with someone portrayed therein. All who are wise will gain from a study of this record that which will direct, enrich, and guard their own personal life. They will draw courage from those who triumphed, learn from the mistakes of others, and hopefully will be spared the heartaches of those who made unwise choices. The Scripture reference at each episode will guide to the Bible account of the experience from which the lesson has been drawn.
