A Monthly Bible Study Letter from Deacon Benny Tiller Jr.
Each month, Deacon Benny Tiller Jr. walks readers through a passage of scripture — digging into what it means, why it matters, and how to live it out.
Rooted in the faith that restored his own life, these letters speak to men rebuilding from rock bottom and finding purpose in God's plan.
Verse by verse, with historical and practical context — no fluff, just the Word of God unpacked for real life.
A man who walked through addiction and incarceration, now walking with you. This is not theory — this is testimony.
How to live what you read, in real life, one day at a time. Each letter ends with steps you can take starting today.
