This is a 'how to' book of an unusual kind. The author proposes that Christians should approach the Bible, not as a collection of ancient documents, but as our partner in an ongoing dialog about our life in the here and now. He explains how to enter into this dialog, how to listen, and how to respond. Suggestions for reflection, discussion, and meditation on particular passages provide outlines for group study and for the individual reader's own prayerful Bible reading.
