The
psalmist says God's Word is sweeter than honey. (Ps. 119:103) In
ancient times, people with a sweet tooth craved honey. Today it's
chocolate. Bower uses the metaphor, “sweeter than chocolate,” to
describe God's Word.
Bower
encourages us to crave God's Word like some crave chocolate. She
wants us to have an attitude of delight toward the Bible and become
addicted to it. She gives suggestions as to how that happens.
While
Bower says anyone can understand the Bible, she does note that
practice and training are required. She helps us understand the
different Bible translations and how to choose one. She gives us an
overview of the Bible and helps us understand the various Bible study
tools, including computer resources. She explains how Bible study is
done and how we can meditate on the Word.
This
book is a good introduction to the Bible and Bible study for new
Christians or Christians beginning to study the Bible for the first
time.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
