Pastor Brad Strand Visits Mornings!

Texas Pastor Brad Strand, Larry and me!

We were honored to have Pastor Strand in our studio today. He spent 33 years and 30,000 hours developing The Strand Study Bible. It weighs nearly five pounds, has extensive maps, color-coding and mini-series to help people live their lives better. This would be a great addition to any library or a great gift for any student of the Bible. For more information, check out www.StrandStudyBible.com.
