My Thoughts:
You will eventually figure out that , I enjoy discovering new ways to read and come to understand the Bible. For me, not just reading the Bible, but learning to unearth the layers upon layers of comfort, encouragement and coming closer to our Heavenly Father, is part of the joy and exercise of spending daily time reading the Bible.
It is like exercising, when you stop reading the Bible, you notice be it gradually or immediately, the effects and when you start reading the Bible, its about learning good habits and overcoming bad habits that may have happen.
One of the most popular reasons for not reading the Bible is the average person expresses a lack of understanding how, and Leland Ryken’s book, “Ryken’s Bible Handbook” is an encouraging and in depth but written at layman’s terms, that provide the needed guide map to reading the Bible.
No handbook is ever meant to be a subsitute, and different styles of handbook, may appeal to different people, but this particularly handbook, has a very comforting, conversational style, filled with helpful side notes and maps at the ends, to help both new and maturing Christians in their walk.
It’s often hard to find cons in Bible handbooks, because like travel guides, different people are looking for different things, but like all guides, “Ryken’s Bible Handbook” provides a very indepth look at each individual book of the Bible.
Another plus about this, is that it is very compact, so it wouldn’t take much space in your backpack or tote bag or even say a medium purse (hey these things are important when you’re on the go).
This is something I strongly recommend for the newbie to the growing Christian to have one hand, both for the compactness of the book to the in depth, but conversational and easy to understand reading.
