Summary:

From the back of the book:

There's power in the Word. But if we're honest, many of us feel the way Margaret Parker once did. When we sit down to read Scripture, it often leaves us bored or confused. But Parker disocvered that reading the Bible doesn't ahve to be a deadening experience.

Once she realized the Bible wasn't like an instruction manual or a textbook, she found drama and action, beauty and pulsing emotional force.

The difference comes in learning to look at the Bible differently - recognizing the power and relevance of its stories, imagery and poetry. The Bible seems dead when we stand back and analyze it. It grips us when we plunge into it and let it absorb us into its world.

This practical book gives us the tools we need to see the Bible as the vital, dynamic book it is. It shows how the Bible can come alive.
