Jim Cantelon Today
Jim Cantelon Today is an engaging verse-by-verse study of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke/Acts, John). Cantelon’s perspective is unique in that he planted the “King of Kings” Church in Israel and lived in Jerusalem with his family for seven years. He knows the country, culture, and history of Israel intimately, and brings those insights to his teaching.
