‘Before I open my Bible? I struggle to find time to read my Bible at all – why would I use that precious time to read a different book before I even open the Bible?’
Not an unreasonable question, you might think. There are two answers. Firstly, this book is short. The 89 compact pages took me just 30 minutes to read. One short browsing session. Secondly, the time you spend reading this book will enrich and enhance the time you spend reading your Bible thereafter. It will help you to move from ‘reading your Bible’ to engaging with God.
