From Matt Smethurst! Whether you are new to the Christian faith or someone who has been following Jesus for a long time, this book will help open your eyes to all that awaits you in God's Word. This little book focuses exclusively on how to approach Scripture in the first place. For without the right heart postures, we're not yet ready to start reading. Read more Tim Keller, chairman and co-founder, Redeemer City to City and author of 'The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness' Today there has been a movement toward a spiritual reading of the Bible that puts the greatest emphasis on ones own experience of the text rather than on a careful, close reading and study of it. Yet Bible study must never be a merely academic exercise either. Matt Smethursts little book is a needed re-orientation so that Christians can genuinely hear Gods voice through his written Word. Jen Wilkin, Bible teacher and author of 'Women of the Word' In an age of instant gratification, many of us rush to the Scriptures asking them to meet us in the moment. But what if we took time to orient ourselves first? Just as our bodies need right posture for physical health, so our hearts need right posture for spiritual health. Matt Smethursts book offers a posture for Bible reading that will serve the heart of anyone set on right worship. Paul David Tripp, president, Paul Tripp Ministries and author of 'Suffering: Gospel Hope When Life Doesnt Make Sense' No one ever comes to Gods Word empty-handed. What you bring with you will shape how you receive it, understand it, and live it. As I read Matt Smethursts book, I was reminded once again that the battle of Bible study is a war for the readers heart. I love this book! I need it and so do you. Read and keep it near, because youll need to read it again and again. Nancy Guthrie, Bible teacher and author of 'What Every Child Should Know about Prayer' Are you someone who wants to want to read the Bible? But, if youre honest, youve found yourself feeling intimidated, apathetic, or simply bored? In its short and conversational chapters, Before You Open Your Bible invites you into a fresh way of approaching this divine book, so that you will be drawn into it and better positioned to build your life on it.
