Catholic TMS E: Grow in Christlikeness
Series E: Grow in Christlikeness present 14 passages to help you focus attention on the character of Christ.

When people observe us responding to difficult people and difficult situations in a godly manner, they recognize and know what Jesus is like, and they find hope.
