In October 2008, Wheat Ridge Ministries hosted its National Symposium on Health and Hope, a gathering designed to resource and renew leaders of health and human care ministries. The theme, “The Body Language of Faith,” was explored from many angles, with a central scriptural focus on “bones, breath and blessings” based on Ezekiel 37. Special thanks to our video presenters listed below for their exceptional work as members of the “Body Builders” team. Their collective, creative energies were a source of inspiration to the Symposium attendees through the creation of this ministry resource. It is our hope that this DVD and devotional study guide, Bones, Breath and Blessings, will be an excellent ministry resource for you.

For $49.95 you may order this devotional resource which includes the DVD with each of the three videos and five devotional booklets. Additional booklets are available to order for $1 per booklet. ORDER NOW
