The Land and the Book

​Every Bible student knows the story of Paul’s dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus. But what happened next? The Bible says he went to Arabia for about three years. But exactly where did he go? And what did he do while he was away? Who discipled him? This week on The Land and the Book, we’re “In Pursuit of Paul”. Plus, Charlie Dyer takes us to Uzziah’s tomb for a remarkable inscription. Don’t miss The Land and the Book.

​We tend to be critical of Peter. We point out the many times he stuck his foot in his mouth. Or the time he started to walk on water…and then sank. But have we been too hard on Peter?

And he’ll help you see Peter like you and I've never seen him before—on The Land and the Book.
