Moody, this Bible Plan examines eight characteristics evident in the Scriptures and in the life of 19th century evangelist Dwight Moody (e.g., surrendered, prayerful, humbled, undistracted, and studious). A free guide including these reflections along with activities and additional devotional content is also available for download from D. L. Moody Center.

When the Bible is confusing, Through the Word explains it with clear and concise audio guides for every chapter. Here in Ephesians, we learn who we are and how to walk it out.

When we pray following the Bible text, we open ourselves to the topics that God chooses. This guide contains instructions and questions that help us after reading God’s Word written in the Epistle to the Ephesians to accept the Word personally and continue talking with God.
