Larry Guthrie

Years ago, I heard Dr. Larry Guthrie present on Daniel's seven tests. It made an impression, so much that I retained those notes for over twenty years. He is a former Indian State University professor who was instrumental in my life as a mentor, specifically in presenting messages with a mentor, always including the tool of object lessons. I served under him briefly in an organization called Character First! Education, which taught essential character traits through fun elementary assemblies and classroom activities. His work involved mentoring in science, medicine, and history to utilize God's Word and creation to learn of our Creator. His training has spread worldwide, and today, his ministry continues through his daughter and son-in-law on their Wisconsin farm, Harvest Home Farm. He and his wife, Lois, have been married for over 40 years; they have two married children and seven grandchildren.

Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.
