This is a collection of resources to get you started if you have questions or want to go further into learning about who God is and what this whole faith deal is about.  We think this is gathering of some of the good nooks and corners on the web to begin exploration, but even good websites can sometimes venture into territory that we don't endorse.  If something seems questionable, feel free to prod it further or bring it up to us!  

Thanks!
