This eight-session small group Bible study (discovery guide sold separately) from noted teacher and historian, Ray Vander Laan, is volume three of the That the World May Know series. In it, Vander Laan illustrates how Jesus' call to follow him turned the world upside down.

Journey back to the time of Jesus. Marvel at the magnificence of Herod's palace. Scramble among the ruins of Qumran. And wonder at the simplicity and wisdom of Jesus' parables.
