14 Fresh Ways to Enjoy the Bible

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“No book in history has had the power to dramatically change the lives and life perspectives of its readers than the Bible. So it's no wonder that believers seek to read it regularly out of respect for its divine author and with the hope of personal profit. Yet, over time, the exercise of reading the text can have a way of becoming routine and more of a duty than a delight. So, if you are looking for a way to reinvigorate your time in the Word, Jim Coakley's insights into the different lenses in which to see Scripture is just what you are looking for! Highly recommended!”

Thankfully, my friend Bill Thrasher has wonderfully stepped into that space to lead us back, or for some of us, for the first time, to an effective prayer life . . . reminding us that not only is prayer important for getting answers but also for the enjoyment of an intimate fellowship with Christ.”
