Overview of Our Courses
The Nature of Our Instructional Material
The main focus of our instructional materials are five distinct courses that make up a course series: Treasuring God, Experiencing Life. The five inter-related courses in this course series are structured to be similar to what you might encounter at a Bible School or Institute.
And this course series has been intentionally designed to provide the following “big picture” of the true Christian faith.
The Ultimate Goal of Our Courses
Fostering hearts that treasure the One, True God—above all else—which is the only path for experiencing True Life
The entirety of the content in our courses is focused on explaining the individual elements of this diagram as well as how they relate—and build upon—the other elements. Cultivating a true faith… that treasures the One True God… naturally leads to a harvesting of the fruit of that faith… the experience of the One True Life.
The Proper Sequence for Our Instructional Material
As the diagram above reflects, there is a recommended sequence for progressing through the materials on this site. While that sequence is not mandatory, it is definitely recommended, as the initial materials serve as “building blocks”—prerequisites—for the subsequent materials.
If you’re even a little bit intrigued by this diagram, let me encourage you to select either the Course or Book version for Faithfully Embracing God’s Perspective to understand what I believe are the “big pictures” of the true Christian faith.
Comparison of Courses & Books
You might have noticed that the menu options for “Courses” and “Books” are basically the same. That’s because the content is the same. Both types are offered in order to accommodate two different learning styles. The following table provides a way to understanding the differences between these two types of learning options.

If you learn better with a more-directly guided, instructional experience which includes a substantial level of study questions for each lesson—plus sample answers to those study questions—then utilizing the online courses will be best for you.
However, if you learn better with a more “free-form” instructional experience and quiz style, then you’ll probably prefer to utilize the downloadable ePub/PDF books.
