About this ebook
“Ready to Receive, Ready to Share” presents a unique “3-D” approach to studying Paul’s letters known as I Timothy, II Timothy, and Titus. Four themes that are found in each letter are studied in parallel. Rather than starting with the first verse of I Timothy and working to the last verse in Titus, this study focuses on four themes and examines all three letters at the same time.
