4.0 out of 5 stars Good; but not overly deep, December 18, 1999

This review is from: To Run and Not Grow Tired: Restoring Your Faith in Times of Trauma, Hurt, or Depression (Fran Sciacca Series) (Paperback)

Good for group or individual study; but not too deep. Questions are rather obvious (basically they all boil down to--what does this verse say?). However, it will motivate you to look deep into the lives of Bible characters and learn life lessons from them.
