Narnia: Discover The Wonder Series

Contributed by Harley Jay Nickless on Dec 4, 2005

What if there were a Wardrobe that could usher us into an Unseen World? What would we see and experience. The Bible is very clear that an Unseen World does exist.

Does a lack of certainty about the future translate into not knowing God’s will? The concept of knowing God’s will is often limited to ...read more
