Bible Reading, a Beginner's Guide

The Bible may be the bestselling book in the world, but reading it - let alone understanding and applying it to daily life - can be a daunting prospect even for people who feel they are some way along the road of Christian discipleship. Where do we start? How do we work out its relevance to us? If we feel we know it quite well already, how can we go further in exploring its riches?This highly accessible book sets out straightforward and helpful strategies for those who are completely new to Bible reading, which can also benefit those who have begun to develop a Bible-reading habit and want to broaden and deepen their understanding. Step by step, Michael Green explains how to enjoy the Bible (and avoid feeling bored by it!), how to read it by ourselves and how to benefit from discussing it with others, and how we in turn can start to share its teaching with new Christians.Contents include:•What is the Bible?•What can it do for me?•How shall I approach it?•How can I begin?•How can I get the best out of it?•How can I avoid getting stale?•How can I go deeper?•Why not read it with a friend?•How about a Bible study group?•Can I trust the Bible?
