I am so glad I discovered ODB University through one of my devotion readings. Thank you for these classes. I am looking forward to continuing my learning and sharing it with others, believers and unbelievers alike.

I was raised in the church with my family. As a child and young adult the basics were taught to me and for the most part I have not reviewed the basics as I had already developed my beliefs. This course has really enlightened my senses and reaffirmed my beliefs. Outstanding! Whether you are a new believer or an old one like me I recommend taking the course. Thank you. You should make this into a booklet form like the ones you put out in churches. Great for new believers that have so many questions but may feel uncomfortable asking or don't know what to ask.

Although I had a general knowledge included in this course, I deepened my understanding. It was so well designed, clear, and summarized the indispensable base that we need to approach the study of the Bible. This is the foundation of our faith, and I think that how this course was presented, it will help me to share my faith with others.
