This book is about reading Scripture, and reading it as God's Word addressed to us. It is a practical book, intended to help those who wish to begin reading Scripture, or want to mature in their understanding of Scripture. It focuses on our using Scripture to grow in the Christian life, and on the way that God addresses His Word to us through the words of the Scripture. Part one is on Reading Scripture and provides practical suggestions for reading Scripture, for growing in understanding what we read, for listening to the Word of God speak to us through Scripture, and for using Scripture in our prayer. Part two is on The Word of God, and discusses how we should approach Scripture and how Scripture reveals God himself to us. Part three is on Abiding in the Word and takes up topics and questions that arise once we begin reading Scripture.
