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.

Biblical interpretation is typically viewed as concerned with understanding the human author’s intended meaning. However, for Christians, the Bible is first and foremost God’s Word and must be understood in that light. Helping Christians approach the Bible with God in mind, this book sets forth a more nuanced approach to biblical interpretation that pays attention to both the human and divine origins of these sacred texts. Whether it’s reviewing the three basic steps of interpretation or emphasizing the importance of paying attention to the Christ-centered character of both the Old and New Testaments, this book is a much-needed resource for the church as it wrestles to defend the authority of Scripture in our increasingly relativistic world.

Studying and memorizing the Bible has completely changed author Michele Miner’s life. Through the process of spending time with God in His Word, He transformed Michele’s mind, healed her, and led her on an adventure of coming to know Him. In The Word of God, Michele shares her spiritual journey and provides insightful and practical steps and techniques to help others adopt a discipline of Scripture memorization rooted in a relationship with Jesus. A comprehensive guide, The Word of God explores the aspects crucial to the memorization and meditation of the Bible: motivation, preparation, and application. It explains why believers should memorize Scripture and defines the biblical and theological rationale and analysis for the effort. It describes the spiritual component necessary to undertake the task and provides practical suggestions for successfully achieving the goal. The Word of God communicates the importance of memorizing Scripture—to dig deeper into the important truth of God’s Word—for advancing the spiritual walk, finding healing and peace, warding off spiritual attacks, and growing in Christ.
