How to Read the Bible Better by Richard Chin

There are a lot of words Reformed theologians and Christians use to describe the Bible: it's authoritative, necessary, and sufficient. It's even clear. But none of this means it's automatically easy to read well. Not least for those who have recently come to faith in Christ, especially without a church background. Give them some help in understanding and loving the precious Word of God with this book from Australian Richard Chin. It makes a great gift for long-time Christians too!

And do I really have to get up early every Sunday morning? It might seem easier to just stick with reading the Bible and opt out of church. But new Christians—and all Christians—need to see why the church is central to God’s plans for the world. Sam Allberry’s wise and pastoral book will guide them.
