Testimonials from April 2017

May 1st, 2017
From a questioner: "I can honestly say that I have never found an app or website that matches so completely with my beliefs and understanding of the Bible like yours does. At no point do you fall on the 'just because' style of answers like many others do. Every article that I look up is clearly deeply researched and is thoughtful in its substance.
