A Short Guide to Reading the Bible Better - Hardcover

by George H. Guthrie (Author)

The number one predictor of a person's spiritual health is the regular practice of personal Bible reading.

But this is precisely the point where many Christians stumble. Why? For many reasons, but one of them is simply that reading the Bible can be challenging. Even when we set aside the time and space, we don't always know where to begin, understand what we're reading, or know how one part connects to the next.

Wouldn't it be helpful to have a guide for reading the Bible better?

A Short Guide to Reading the Bible Better is an accessible handbook to help you better read God's Word, whether you are new to the Bible or have been reading it faithfully for decades. This book was designed to be read together by an entire church, studied by a small group, or engaged by an individual looking to sharpen his or her Bible reading skill.

A clear and concise roadmap for reading God's Word well, this book will equip you to open God's Word with intention, purpose, and context every time, so that you may see God transform your hearts and minds as you read.
