Public Town Hall Discussion - Idyllwild Bible School
Idyllwild Bible School Town Hall (July 25, 1996) Idyllwild Bible School used to have a Public Town Hall in the town of Idyllwild where the 3 Bible School Speakers would present. This year each speaker gave a 10ish minutes to take about a topic from the “How to Read the Bible Effectively” Seminar series. The talks have been into separate pieces and given it the best title I can figure from the recording (sometimes they say and other times you need to guess) and also one file of the complete recording that has everything combined.
