  So with the new "Come Follow Me" curriculum in 2019, I wanted to make my scripture study more in depth, and I thought of dad's Institute handouts with so many insights in them. Then I thought that many of you may also benefit from his handouts....so, I have scanned and attached all of Lou Fife's handouts that he gave as he taught the New Testament in his Institute classes. I have posted them here in the order he gave them, but I typed out the scriptural highlights he listed at the beginning of each one, so you can do a search on them. You will notice that the scripture references are all listed to the left under January 2019. Hopefully between those two options, this will help you find what you are looking for.
  I have made this blog post private, so others can't search and find it. I would like to keep it that way so that only those in the family and those we trust, will honor and respect all the many hours he put into these handouts and truly value them. (I don't want to cast the pearls before the swine :) )
  If you have any questions/problems/concerns...please email me at tammyn55@gmail.com

Thank you. Love you all.
