![]() Jude: Contending for the Faith in Today’s Culture by Jackie Hill Perry *You’ll get more out of this study if you buy the book AND the workbook.

What should I study? A few weeks prior I received a study on the book of Esther. I was forcing something because I had always done it instead of pursuing variety in my study of God’s Word – a pursuit that would free me to enjoy it more!
