Hey students, if you are reading this far, that means you have at least some interest in taking this class in English. Why not learn Christianity and English at the same time? Then you will be killing two birds with one stone (but remember, I am Mr. Byrd, not Mr. Bird XD). And learning something really fascinating--and important--for understanding the world and making it a better place.
