"Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law."
— Psalm 119:18 (KJV)
Choose Your Path
There is no single way to study the Bible. Some people learn best by following the lives of its men and women. Others prefer to trace the major events that shaped God's redemptive plan.
Below you'll find two guided study paths designed to help you explore Scripture from different perspectives while remaining connected to the rest of the Promise Harbor Library.
Choose the path that interests you most—or explore them both.
