“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path,” sang the Psalmist. Yet, for many people today, the Bible is a closed book, buried in the bottom of a trunk somewhere. Does it still have relevance in the age of the Internet? Is it possible to translate ancient words of wisdom into ideas for the modern age? Can it comfort people in the throes of the mortgage and financial meltdown? Join Mike Hamilton, a student of the Bible and college professor, to ask your questions about the Bible. Find out how its healing ideas can bring peace and security to your life.
