52 Weeks Through The Bible

The Bible is the living word of God. More than 2,000 times in the Old Testament alone, the Bible asserts that God spoke what is recorded in its pages. The phrase "the Word of God" occurs more than forty times in the New Testament. The Bible claims ultimate spiritual authority over our lives for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness because it represents the inspired Word of God. Every phrase, every verse, every chapter, and every book in the Bible comes from God Himself! It is the only way that we can know God and know His will for our lives. For this reason, it seems reasonable that we should establish a pattern of reading God's Word every day to know what it says and apply its teachings to our lives. After all, how can we know God's will apart from reading His word? This is the purpose of 52 Weeks Through the Bible—to help you develop a plan for engaging in Scripture each and every day. Drawing on the teachings of John MacArthur, this guide includes: A daily plan for reading through the Bible in one year Readings based on John MacArthur's teachings on key portions of Scripture Reflections and questions to help you apply the message to your life As John notes, "My prayer is that the magnificent and overwhelming theme of the redemption of sinners found in Scripture will carry you with captivating interest from the beginning to the end of the story. This is your story. It is from God to you—and about you. It tells what God has planned for you, why He made you, what you once were, what you have now become in Christ, and what is waiting for you in eternal glory." Paperback, 244 pages. ISBN- 9780310169109
