Finding Light in Darkness: Ray and Carol Harbaugh's Story of Faith and Recovery

It was a wonderful time: Three Years of Greek and Hebrew and all that. Just to figure out specifically where you guys attribute the start of the recovery back into restoration, redemption, whatever it was. Yes, yes, so that was definitely a big piece of it.
