HIDE DESCRIPTIONFrom the beginning of time, the Torah (literally, God’s “instruction”) has provided a window for man to look into the heart and mind of his Creator. Historically, the word Torah has been used to refer to the first five books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy). But Torah isn’t limited to just five books; it encompasses the entirety of God’s divine instruction throughout the “Old Testament.” Unfortunately, when most people hear the word Torah they immediately think “law,” which evokes a negative response. But God’s instruction leads to life! Let us help you learn what God’s Torah really is and what it actually says. We want you to experience the Torah as God’s eternal instruction and revelation for humanity. When you encounter His word, His will, and His way from a truly Torah-oriented perspective, it will enrich and change your life forever!
