Product Description

▼▲

While the Bible is the most famous book in history, it can be intimidating. Yet God’s word is for us and all people. It is living and active and has the power to save, give life, and heal. Do we read the Bible attuned to the power of God’s word?

John W. Kleinig opens up the riches found in the Bible. He likens God’s word to a lavish meal that nourishes and satisfies our souls. He shows us the centrality of Scripture to Christian faith—the word through which the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit speak with one voice to believers on Earth.

Kleinig reminds us of what happens to our hearts when the word of Christ gets into it and changes it from the inside out. … To read this book with open ears is already to experience what it is talking about.

—Phillip Cary, author of Good News for Anxious Christians; professor of philosophy, Eastern University

An excellent primer for all Christians about the Bible as a whole.

—Rachel Joy Welcher, author of Talking Back to Purity Culture

A delightful invitation to the rich feast Jesus provides us in his word. It will appetize your ears, so that they might taste and see that the Lord is good!

—Tyler R. Wittman, co-author of Biblical Reasoning; assistant professor of theology, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary

You will come away marveling anew, as Peter did, at the words of eternal life flowing from Jesus’ mouth for your ears to hear and your heart to believe.

—Harold L. Senkbeil, author of The Care of Souls

John Kleinig invites us to feast on God’s Word in this little book. His guide to Holy Scripture whets our appetites for the meal that awaits us as we read the Bible, the very Word of God on which human beings live.

—Matthew Y. Emerson, professor of religion and dean of theology, arts, and humanities, Oklahoma Baptist University
