A UNIQUE BOOK that knits the Old and New Testaments firmly together, helps you to read the Bible 'as one book', and enables you to walk more closely with the One True God. In one handy volume, A PATHWAY INTO THE BIBLE meets the urgent need for Christians to understand the whole Bible for themselves, get to know God for themselves, and be able to explain and defend the Gospel of God for themselves, in the face of modern-day distortions of it. A PATHWAY INTO THE BIBLE contains: 2 Thumbnail Sketches of the Old and New Testaments (30 pages in all), 58 Short Walks through every book of the Bible, 30 Walking Meditations to share with God, 170 Bold Italic Paragraphs that tackle the tricky bits, and '12 Evidences of God's Presence Hidden in Plain Sight in the Bible and in the World.' All in the space of 537 pages. The Short Walks through every Bible book last from 5 minutes (Titus) to 30 minutes (Genesis) to 40 minutes (John's Gospel) to 60 minutes (Isaiah) to 90 minutes (The Psalms). And 49 of the Bible's 66 books can be 'walked through' in 35 minutes or less. The book takes its personal inspiration from the author's preaching motto: 'Take it from me, you can't just take it from me!' And it takes its historical inspiration from William Tyndale, who published the first translation of the Bible into English in the sixteenth century. Tyndale wrote a Preface for his readers, many of whom were seeing the Bible for the first time, called 'A Pathway into the Holy Scripture.' Let A PATHWAY INTO THE BIBLE - WALKING WITH GOD THEN AND NOW be your introduction to God and His Word.WHAT OTHERS SAY..."This book is the fruit, not only of many hours of writing, but of many years soaking in, drawing from, living and teaching the Bible as the written interface between us and the God who loves us. Stuart is not afraid to acknowledge and comment on 'difficult' passages that challenge some current social or moral assumptions. His style is not to dismiss or minimise these passages, but rather take them seriously as part of God's revelation."(MARK CHURCHWARD - Leader, Southend Christian Fellowship and Co-ordinator of 'Love Southend', Essex)"This new Pathway can do for today's Christians and church leaders, what Tyndale's Pathway did in his era. In my 37 years of fellowship with Sri Lankan friends in east London, both Hindus and Christians, this was just the sort of clear, relevant guidance that we needed. Now that I am working with new churches in Kenya, I see that Pathway is very suitable for translating into languages that are very short of this type of resource."(JONATHAN EDEN - Planter of Tamil churches in East London)"I have found this book very informative and it has encouraged me to read and re-read the Bible and to understand it more fully. I have especially appreciated referring to it when delving into individual Bible books." (GERALDINE LEDIEURT - Active member of her local church)"Any book that enables us to go deeper into a relationship with God through a greater understanding and a greater voice above all other voices speaking into our lives... THAT is a book worth reading, again and again. So it is with Stuart's book. I wholeheartedly recommend A Pathway Into The Bible."(GAVIN DIXON - Leader, King's Church Southend (New Frontiers)"During the time that Stuart and I were colleagues in ministry we used to meet on a weekly basis for worship, prayer and fellowship. I was often blessed by Stuart's insightful comments on Scripture. His comments invariably opened up fresh avenues of thought for me. In this book he has been able to expand more fully on many of the topics we discussed, opening up each book in a way that sets its context in history and makes its purpose and teaching clear and easily understood. It is my privilege to commend this book to you as an aid to understanding what you read as you delve into the Bible."(MIKE WRIGHT - Senior Minister, Westcliff Elim Christian Centre)

Drawn from Archbishop Thomas Collins popular monthly lectio divina series at St. Michaels Cathedral in Toronto, Pathway to Our Hearts invites readers to listen to the word of God and examine what it tells them about loving God with their mind, heart, and hands. With the Sermon on the Mount as his focus, Collins welcomes readers into a nourishing encounter with the word of God, adapting the ancient practice of lectio divina for todays Catholics. At this time of revival of the tradition of lectio divina, including a strong endorsement by the 2008 Synod on the Word, Collins models a simple approach that anyone can take to reading scripture. Collinss friendly, conversational manner encourages the reader to learn to listen to the text, allowing Gods voice to speak to the heart. From his long experience of teaching the Bible, Collins offers readers expert advice on praying with the scriptures, but most importantly he models it, and those who thirst to draw close to Gods word will find refreshment in these pages.
