14 Day Walk with Christ

Melanie Thorne West Valley, Utah
A Fourteen Day Walk With Christ

The only way we can really know another person is to "walk in his shoes".... Think what He thinks....Learn what He knows....Say what He would say....and do what He would do. Christ said, "Be ye therefore perfect." We can only accomplish this as we become like Him. Faithfully follow this 14 day walk with Christ and you will understand Christ better.
