Location: This class meets at Brainerd Hills Baptist Church. It is a two-minute drive from HHL’s main campus.
Books: Order through Rainbow Resource, Amazon, Christian Book Distributor, etc. Sometimes we recommend that you order from a specific company if the ISBN number does not take you to the correct book or if it is more expensive (as is often the case on Amazon).  Also, sometimes copying and pasting the ISBN number does not take you to the correct item.  You might have to type in the name of the book, especially on Rainbow Resource Center, since they have their own way of cataloging items. We encourage you to buy used books, unless it is a consumable workbook.
