There is no more excellent endeavor for the Christian than knowing God through understanding His Word. Sadly, we are experiencing perhaps the worst epidemic of biblical illiteracy in modern history. Yet God still ignites His people to seek Him by chasing an understanding of His sacred Word. In doing so, He also blesses the church with teachers who can equip and encourage the church toward spiritual maturity. This is why I’m thankful for Mikella Van Dyke’s book Chasing Sacred. More than simply a “Bible study book,” Mikella brings us along on a guided tour of her own life, experiences, and personal discovery of Inductive Bible Study. Not only is Mikella a skilled writer, she is also a gracious hostess, carefully and kindly walking the reader through the timeless principles of hermeneutics. I warmly recommend this helpful book!
