Bible Bookshelf
This quarter’s study guide was written by Adenilton Tavares de Aguiar, PhD, a professor of Biblical Interpretation at the Theological Seminary at the Adventist University Center of São Paulo (UNASP) in Brazil. He also wrote a “Bible Bookshelf” book entitled, First and Second Corinthians: The Essence of Christian Life and Witness as a “Bible Bookshelf” companion to this quarter’s lessons.
And be sure to save your quarterly on Growing in a Relationship with God to review whenever you find your relationship growing stale. Or you can bookmark the page for those lessons and just come back here, because that was/is an outstanding and practical series of lessons.
