Today my choice is going to one of the tools used by pastors and ministers called EXEGETICAL GUIDES.
When this month’s challenge began, I didn’t expect to discover a tool widely used by pastors, ministers, and students of the Bible: the exegetical guide.

- Record something about a particular tool. It can be physical or digital. It may also be something that has been replaced with advanced technology.
- Share with a challenge partner if you have one.
- Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
