Description
In this age of diminishing biblical literacy, here is practical help to just read what is written and enjoy it!
As one author wrote in 1907: “The Bible is not enjoyed because the Bible is not understood.” More than a century later, the situation has vastly deteriorated. In the US, almost 40% of Americans who have a Bible never open it! In the UK it is worse, with 60% of Church of English followers never reading the Bible.
This book has 18 powerful chapters by Peter Wade with many examples from the wisdom of a lifetime of Bible teaching. The final chapter is an Introduction to Figures of Speech for those who want to dig deeper.
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4 ESV).

COMMENTS
Thanks for the insight on this most inspiring section of God’s Word [see chapter 1]. You truly are the master teacher and I keep learning from you! — RL, San Diego CA
Thank you, Peter. What a beautiful, encouraging word, to read the word as a love letter from our Dear Lord! [see chapter 5]. I will be sharing this with my friends. — Joan, internet
Because many Christians have found the Bible to be too difficult to understand, they have turned to Christian books relating personal experience as their main meal. I think this teaching would be helpful and might woo them back to the Bible [see chapter 13]. — IB, Walnut Creek CA.
Wow… thanks!!! concerning all that you wrote here [see chapter 14]… — Anna, internet
