Recommended Study Book: Ryken’s Bible Handbook

Ryken’s Bible Handbook

Amazon’s Price: $13.58
This book gives students of the Bible a quick overview of every book in the Bible. Leland Ryken’s distinctive trait is a literary approach to the Bible–understanding the Bible as literature. The three authors help shed light on understanding the Bible as the inspired Word of God and as literature by looking at the Bible’s different literary genres: poetry, narrative, wisdom literature, story, parables, and more.  This is a top-notch Bible Handbook and it is worth its weight in gold.  For a great Bible introduction, a class or Bible study it is the best.

There are so many things, small mostly, that we need to pass on.  Life is such a wonder, you can never guess what will happen next.  I think it is to our advantage to learn from each other.  I have found the Book of Proverbs and Ecclesiates to be rich ore just waiting to be dug out.  Get a Bible and see if I’m right or not.  You won’t be disappointed.

Oh, about Proverbs.  There are 31 chapters in that book.  I try to read a chapter a day, and at the end of a month I will have read through the book.  It’s a good habit I think and I’d like to challenge you to try it out.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

 

Pray for the Church in Ireland today!  Ask the Lord to raise up pastors and elders that will be faithful to His word and to His flock.  Pray for Christian believers in Ireland who are afflicted with mental illness and chronic depression.  Pray for those who struggle with chemical dependence.

For more information, and a peek into ministry in Ireland, check out the Youth With A Mission- Ireland website.  YWAM is doing a great work in that country and ministry there is rich and full.  Check them out at : http://www.ywamireland.org/

For you and your home, a blessing…

An Old Irish Blessing
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
