Mr. Rice's Notebook

What is Mr. Rice's Notebook? Richard Rice, former manager of the Mail Processing Center for the Worldwide Church of God in Pasadena, California, gave regular Bible Studies to the Ambassador College students. It is believed that all of these Bible Studies were given before 1986.

These Bible Studies covered a variety of topics, but most were related to dating, and developing Godly character. Each Bible Study was summarized and placed in the Ambassador College Library in a notebook for later reference. They collectively became known as "Mr. Rice's Notebook". If you had attended Ambassador College, you would have had the opportunity to hear these Bible Studies. Now you are able to learn from these timeless messages.

There are a total of 60 Bible Studies given by Mr. Rice plus seven additional singles bible studies given by other ministers.
