- Unpuzzling Hebrews with Tom Sims
"The world has changed. The cost to follow Jesus is going up. Are you prepared to pay?" Though written in the 1st Century, the letter to the Hebrews recorded in the New Testament has much to say to us in the 21st Century about persevering in the cause of Christ.
Tom Sims is a graduate of the World of Life Bible Institute and has served various churches as youth pastor and teacher. He is the author of the newly published Unpuzzling Hebrews: A New Translation and Commentary. He has been married to his wife Janine since 2008, and the Lord has blessed them with two daughters.
