3 This study will change your life! Gary is one of the best teachers I have ever heard or read. His passion and knowledge lead him to make a difference in the lives of everyone who sits under his teaching.

Go through Good and Faithful and share it with others. It will equip you to serve the Lord with freedom and gratitude. —Gladys Güitz Co-Founder, Potter’s House Association International Gary illuminates deeply rooted biblical truths animated by his own radical commitment to living the principles he speaks and writes about in this book.
