A Short Guide to Reading the Bible Better
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
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?
