About this ebook

The Bible is God's Word. The Bible teaches us how we should live. The Bible is something we should read every day. The Bible is something we should enjoy reading.

Most of us agree with these statements. At least in theory. But what's our reality?

Sometimes reading the Bible is a delight. But if we’re honest, many times reading the Bible feels like hard work and we read out of a sense of obligation. Some of us have given up entirely.

Tim Chester reminds us that every time we read the Bible we hear the voice of God.
