EfM EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS: EfM Graduate David Palmer
"My initial intent when I signed up was to read the entire bible so that when someone quoted a verse, I would have an idea as to where in the bible find it.  What happened throughout the four-year course is that I found the words to better express my thoughts and feelings about God and religion in general."
