There used to be just three people in our church reading through the Bible — now there are 150.
One older lady, a believer since her 20s, had attempted to read the Bible through for years and every time had given up. ‘Now, together with everyone else, I think I’m going to do it’, she said.
How did it happen?
I was putting the finishing touches to my first book, Bible Overview, when the idea for the RBT (Reading the Bible Together) groups came to me. Here I was writing a book about how the Bible was simple to read, able to be understood by anybody coming to Christ with the right attitude — but what about in practice? I raised the idea with the elders, we put it to the church and within weeks over 80 had signed up.
