Did God Really Say THAT?: 12 Tips on How to Read, Understand, and Apply the Bible

Easy to understand, yet very thought provoking and potentially life-changing, this book, written by an experienced pastor, gives laypeople 12 tips to help them read and study the Bible. Beginning with calling on readers to remember what the Bible actually is - God's message to us given through humans from different eras and different cultures - Pastor Steve goes on to elaborate 11 more tips, such as letting the authors of the Bible debate with one another, following the progressions of themes and subjects in the scriptures, and recognizing Jesus as God's ultimate revelation and using him as the key to unlocking other parts of the Bible. The book also includes a study guide for small groups to use to lead discussions based on the points Pastor Steve raises.
