A practical and inspiring guide for how to read the Bible from Gilbert Lennox. Designed for both new readers and seasoned Bible enthusiasts, this book shows you how to immerse yourself in God's message, one book at a time.

Whether you've just started reading the Bible or you've been reading it for a while but don't feel you're getting the most from it, this is the book for you.

Taking a step-by-step approach, God Speaking shows you how to absorb, retain and enjoy in what God is saying through each individual book of the Bible.

The first step is to choose one Bible book and read it right through before going back and delving deeper. For only when you've grasped the overall thrust of a book can you begin to see how its different parts fit together and contribute to the whole.

Gilbert Lennox has developed and refined this approach over many years, and in God Speaking he presents his step-by-step method to read, absorb and reflect on Scripture effectively. Using the First Letter of Peter and the Gospel of John as examples, Lennox demonstrates how to uncover the meaning, structure, and richness of each book.

Filled with practical advice and spiritual insight, God Speaking will transform the way you read the Bible, deepen your relationship with God, and make Scripture come alive.

Perfect for personal devotion, small group study, or anyone seeking a rewarding, life-changing approach to Bible reading.

Read Gilbert's advice, try it out for yourself, and you'll be amazed at how exciting and rewarding Bible reading can be!
