LIVING BY THE BOOK: THE ART AND SCIENCE OF READING THE BIBLE by Howard G. Hendricks

For every person who draws strength and direction from the Bible, there are many more who struggle with it. Some call it a long book with fine print and obscure meaning. Some call it a mystery, a chore to read, or an undecipherable puzzle.

The good news is you can easily solve this problem. With over 300,000 sold, this revised and expanded edition of Living by the Book will remove the barriers that keep Scripture from transforming your life. In a simple, step-by-step fashion, the authors explain how to glean truth from Scripture. It is practical, readable, and applicable. By following its easy-to-apply principles, you'll soon find yourself drawing great nourishment from the Word—and enjoying the process! The Living by the Book Workbook is the perfect compliment to provide practical application of lessons .

“From Despair to Hope” by

Sharon Reidenbach

How fun the world looks with its deceptive words and ways when we’re hurting and close

to despair. The duration of these struggles, even for Christians, can challenge one’s

faith with doubts.

We’ve prayed and tried to read God’s Holy Word, but it feels like a brick wall is

shielding our efforts or God’s response. And the whispers of Satan ask, “Do you really

believe this? You’ve no answers. He’s left you. You’re at the same spot as before with no

improvement.” And we’re deceived into questioning, and to look for an easier way

glittering with quick fixes.

Christ knew, however, who’d reach those bottomless pits and listen to those destructive,

deceptive words to turn away. John 6:53-68 is a beautiful example of how this dilemma

raised its ugly head during Jesus’ walk on earth with an answer. There were disciples

following Christ who found his teachings and ways hard to grasp. Yet they made no

effort to rectify the problem, but turned to like minds and, eventually, returned to

their former ways of living. “From that time many of His disciples went back and

walked with Him no more.” (John 5:66, NKJV)

But praise God the story doesn’t end there. Jesus turned to His twelve and asked, “Do you

also want to go away?” (John 6:67) And the big, burly, redeemed forever, off-the-wall-

sinner, Simon Peter, gave the answer for all of us when facing the unanswered doors of

prayer and tempted to cave in . . . “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of

eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are Christ, the Son of the

living God!” (John 6:68-69)

Three things Christ leaves for us when we are feeling like we’re hanging on by a

thread from challenges:

First, God’s love of truth will never deceive us. “But God proves His own love for us in

that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

Second, during those dark times He never says: “Buck up.” No, we hear, “Be still [wait-do

nothing] and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10)

Third, while waiting, a counter attack to Satan’s whispers is to disarm him. “Receive

with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.” (James 1:21)

As Peter said, “Lord, to whom shall we go?”

Earthly quick fixes die with our last breath while God’s eternal, everlasting healings

are forever . . . our hope, our joy, to remember each day.
