Mighty Men of Valour

19 MEI — Hoekom is dit so dat ons as manne baie maal ontneem voel van geestelike outoriteit, respek en waarde? Hoeveel mis ons van dit wat God uit Sy Woord vir ons as manne wil gee? Veronderstel mens kon die prentjie wat die wêreld so graag van manne wil skilder vergelyk met die droom wat Abba Vader vir ons het? Hoeveel anders sou dit lyk? Die outeur van Virtuous Women, Prof Gerrie Bester, se nuwe boek, Mighty Men of Valour word voorgestel om 9vm by die CFWC Kerk, hoek van Potgieter- en Cilliersstraat, Monument. Moenie hierdie bekendstelling misloop nie!
