There are many versions of the Bible available. Christian Life generally refers to the New American Standard Version. It is vital to note that only the Holy Spirit, as the "Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation," can give us the "knowing this" that is essential. The written word must become the Living Word within our hearts. Otherwise it is just mental assent and is powerless to effect real change in the Christian's life. Courses run for 6 weeks. The last week will be opportunities for students to bring a short message or testimony, discuss any aspect of the course that is not clear and any other issue that may have arisen during the course..
