The American Heritage Series
by David Barton (13 weeks DVD)
Discover the forgotten and astonishing story of our nation's foundation in the American Heritage Series. For centuries, Americans were taught a truthful view of history that recognized the Godly heroes and moral foundation our nation was founded upon. But in recent years, a new version of history has assaulted the moral and spiritual fiber of our nation, leaving the truth of our past eliminated and forgotten. Until today. From Separation of Church and State, to the Civil Rights Movement, the heroism of our founding Fathers to the building of our nation's monuments, this series will inspire every American to reclaim the Godly, true story of our nation.

Getting to the Heart of Parenting
by Paul David Tripp (11 weeks DVD)
A wonderful parenting conference recorded live on DVD for parents of all age children from infant through teens. Parenting is more than using your power to get children to behave in certain ways. Parenting is all about the exposure and change of the child's heart. When the heart of a child changes the behavioral change that is needed will last. Learn how to be an instrument of heart changing grace in the little moments of life that God will give you with your children, whether they are toddlers or teens.

When Sinners Say "I Do"
by Dave Harvey (10 Week study)
When Sinners Say "I Do" is about encountering the life-transforming power of the gospel in the unpredictable journey of marriage. Marriage is the union of two people who arrive at the alter toting some surprising large luggage. Often it gets opened right there on the honeymoon, sometimes it waits for the week thereafter. The Bible calls it sin and understanding its influence can make all the difference for a man and woman who are building life together. "My friends," writes the author, "when sin becomes bitter, marriage becomes sweet." Therefore the focus of this study is to examine sin and grace in order to promote enjoyable, God-glorifying marriages.
Class will meet in Suite 205. Cost for the book and workbook is $17.00.
