Basics Of Life was a year long Sunday School class written and taught by Brian Beasley.  The curriculum covered the gospel of Matthew, several main characters from the Old Testament, and the birth of the early church.  The study was designed to return to the core truths in the stories we have heard so many times before.  Each lesson has a one page handout in Word format for downloading.
