To aide unbelievers in giving their lives to the Lord. To conduct all matters as ambassadors of the Lord, bringing glory to His name and not our own. To provide materials to the general public free of charge."
The Student, the Fish, and Agassiz
"The following is a classic account of the importance of first-hand observation, and careful, intense, focused study.Its lessons certainly apply to studying the Bible. Too often students of the Bible rely on second-hand, derivative knowledge, acquired from pastors, teachers, parents, books about the Bible, or other secondary sources. While all of these have their place, there is no substitute, in the end, for one's own first-hand study and experience of the Scriptures, and for the joy of discovery."
