How to Read the Bible

Several months ago, I mentioned in this post that Howard & William Hendricks’ Living by the Book is quite simply the best book I’ve ever read, next to the Bible.

The 2nd Best Book I’ve Ever Read

Right now I’m reading “Living by the Book,” by Howard and William Hendricks. Next to the Bible, this is the best book I have ever read in the nearly 20 years of my Christian life. I’ve been recommending it to everyone I can, and now I’m blogging about it. Why?

Howard Hendricks has taught students how [...]
