DISCOVERY BIBLE STUDY GUIDES
The Discovery Bible Study Guides come in full page color lessons. These Guides have been very popular and are now being used in many countries. The set is produced by the Voice of Prophecy Radio Program. Sorry, these Guides are not in 'Easy English', but are well prepared for the average reader (you don't need a theology degree!). This is a Bible Correspondence Course through the mail, OR we -- with the VOP -- now also make them available so you can do them right at our special Web Site!
If you choose to do the lessons on the Web site [register first], you can do the lessons at your own speed. We correct the lesson for you, and you go on with the next one -- all online. You may have questions, and you will get personal answers. The person who individually corrects your study guides will either be a Deaf person, or one very closely connected with the Deaf World and Deaf Culture.
Either way, the Study Guides are free. If you are unhappy with them, you may stop at any time. To do them on the Internet go to:Discovery Bible Guides Canada
