I would like to commend you on the curriculum, Developing a Biblical Worldview. The logical format of first testing, then teaching with direct reference to the questions previously missed, and then allowing retesting as need is extremely user friendly. It surely convicted my son of his false beliefs and now has tested as a Biblical Theist!

Thank you SO much for your ministry! Your program has been a life changing
course for ME and the homeschool students who took the course (including my
son). I'll be offering it again this fall to additional homeschool students
in our co-op. As far as I'm concerned, it should be a REQUIRED course!

"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.!!

Hello Bro Dan, You don't know me but I have received your newsletter for some months now
and greatly enjoyed it. Your words on holiness and God's holy hatred
were refreshing, though I never expected to see that concept in print.
The false view of "love the sinner, hate the sin" has so permeated the
church that I feared the truth had been permanently obscured.
Cliff Kelly, Ph.D.
