The Beautiful No

July 7, 2016 By Verna Bowman 14 Comments

I’m guessing you’re like me and simply love when God’s answer is yes to a fervent prayer. And why wouldn’t it be? We’re all needy and He’s all powerful. It sounds like it should work.

April 7, 2016 By Verna Bowman 10 Comments

One of the great things about my week -  Thursday mornings, when I meet with dozens of Jesus lovin' gals for Bible Study.  Yes, and have been for the past twenty-eight years. Kay Arthur, co-founder of Precept Inductive Studies, may never know just how the Lord has used her to teach and mentor me through all twenty-eight.
