Enough Already: How Simply Using Silence and a God-Centered Approach to Scripture Fosters Authentic Discipleship
We all know we should read our Bibles, that finding time for a bit of silence and solitude is good for the soul. But how many people are actually doing it? Emily Lawyer introduces us to a God-centered discipleship process that has proven effective with both men and women. Instead of focusing on what a passage of Scripture means to our lives, Lawyer’s process turns it around, encouraging participants to ask, “What does this Scripture make me appreciate about God?” Eventually, 80 percent of men and women in her church used this uncomplicated approach and grew excited about reading the Bible, Lawyer says. “On their own, they were uncovering and internalizing profound truths.” The first section of the book details the reasons for solitude and need to center our thoughts on who God truly is; the second section shows how to implement this approach in a church setting. The process is simple, scalable, repeatable, and laser-focused on engaging Scripture in a way that encourages a deepening relationship with God.
