Cherish the Majesty
Scriptures are inspired testimony and wisdom
handed down over thousands of years

About
Hi, I'm David,
a retired librarian sharing a love for sacred literature with my grandchildren, and anyone else who cares to join us.
God knows each of us by name. His scriptures explain how our Father in Heaven touches each of our lives. He invites us to learn about the path to return to Him through faith in Christ, repentance, and cove-nants that bind us closer to Him. We can best hear His voice calling us by listening to His word (scrip-ture study), during sincere prayer, by participating in worship services, and when serving others.
Join us as we read all sacred scriptures in one year, then use the principles learned to live a happier life.
Delighted to have you here.
