I really enjoyed this module as it brought back memories from my home in central Arkansas not far from Monticello. That little church taught me that History (HIS-Story) Jesus, was very important. I am greatful and thankful for that little Baptist Church making sure that when I asked the question, "What difference does it make what church you go to?" As soon as they could they gave me that little red book with a chart and said we are teaching a class tonight, be here! That was 50 years ago. Amen.
