About Direction® :

In the clutter and busyness of day-to-day life, it’s often hard to find time to study God’s Word. Direction® helps urban adults cut through the clutter to focus on their relationships with Jesus Christ. Based on UMI’s Precepts for Living® commentary,  Direction® encourages in-depth reading, studying, and application of the Bible for continued spiritual growth.
