The Rock (New Living Translation)
    "If you abide in My word, you will know the Truth, and Truth will set you free." John 8:31,32
    All Truth is a reflection of the character and nature of God. Josh McDowell draws us to consider the choices that we make. Will they be defined by the absolute Truth of God, or will we define truth for ourselves?
     On this journey through the scriptures, we will encounter real people faced with tough moral decisions. At the crossroad they choose and we see the consequences. Through their lives, and our own, let us discover Truth and 'live in the Truth'. Then we will be truly free.  Sandy Smalts
