Dr. Bob Fuller Contact: Lellen Lane, lellenlane@aol.com 210-860-1395 (to be placed in small groups for discussion following the general session)
Description: Many people mistake the book of Numbers for a dry accounting of the tribes and census of Israel. The reality is that Numbers is a dramatic story of survival in the wilderness. The original (Hebrew) title of the book is Ba Midbar—“In the Wilderness,” and the book of numbers is an adventure that does not disappoint. This fall we will join Moses and the people of Israel in the wilderness as they fight for their physical and spiritual survival. GriefShare Date: Time: Location: Contact:
