“I absolutely love your materials and it has helped so much in the understanding of what a Biblical worldview is in all the crucial areas. This course has helped to solidify many things in my son's mind. Thanks so much for your work and the efforts that you had to take to bring those about.”

“Dear Nehemiah Institute, I just wanted to tell you how much of a help your products have been to me. I am a senior at a Christian high school which I have attended all my life, and my father is a Baptist pastor. I took the PEERS test, and scored in the secular humanism category on some parts of the test. Needless to say, this disturbed me. I took the test independently and am now working through the DBW workbook. It has been a tremendous blessing to me in helping me to evaluate everything I hear or see in the light of God's Word. I tell everyone I can about you guys. Thank you!!”

Anna A., from Portland, OR
