I'm back in Luke! I'm excited to pick back up wher I'm back in Luke! I'm excited to pick back up where I left off in my study of Luke.

This week I'm recapping an introduction to Luke with a fun coloring page inspired by art from a 13th century Bible manuscript.

You can read it all on Substack (under Marydean Draws), the link on my website, or the link below. Paid subscribers can download the study and coloring page.
