STAY CONNECTED: A New Series for Catholic Women

October 22, 2018 By Sarah Christmyer 2 Comments

Sarah Christmyer writes and speaks about Scripture and the Catholic faith with the goal of helping people meet Jesus in his Word. “The Bible isn’t just a book about God or instructions for a good life; it’s a place to meet God and be changed by him,” she says.
