Reading the Bible Supernaturally


Book Description

The Bible reveals glorious things. And yet we often miss its power because we read it the same way we read any other book. In Reading the Bible Supernaturally, best-selling author John Piper teaches us how to read the Bible in light of its divine author. In doing so, he highlights the Bible's unique ability to reveal God to humanity in a way that informs our minds, transforms our hearts, and ignites our love. With insights into the biblical text drawn from decades of experience studying, preaching, and teaching Scripture, Piper helps us experience the transformative power of God's Word—a power that extends beyond the mere words on the page. Ultimately, Piper shows us that in the seemingly ordinary act of reading the Bible, something supernatural happens: we encounter the living God.

Passionate Pursuit


Book Description

Discover the Heart of God “You were created with an internal void that only God Himself can fill.” “The depth of your hunger for God is the length of your reach to Him.” “You can be as close to God as you want to be.” Are these statements mere clichés?

He understands you inside and out, and He desires for you to know Him personally, too. Author James W. Goll joyfully guides you past the clichés and into the spiritual reality of knowing God’s heart through an intentional, ongoing relationship with Him. Passionate Pursuit shows you how to open your heart to encounter the living Lord. As your discovery of God unfolds, and your relationship with Him deepens, you will be surprised and delighted to hear His voice, to learn from Him—and to touch His heart. You will be filled with the life of God, and you will always desire to come back for more. In the process, you will gradually be transformed to become like Him and to reflect His image to others.
