"In this relatively short book, Tim Chester has managed to cover comprehensively key issues about why the Bible should play a crucial role in a growing relationship with God. It would probably be helpful to mull over each chapter and seek to put the ideas into practice as you read the Bible. The areas covered in this book will help to enrich your encounter with God as you engage with his word."
"Nonbelievers and new believers alike will find this resource valuable for personal Bible study and for fostering a deeper appreciation for the God who still speaks through his word."

Tim is widely and deeply read, yet he writes with great accessibility and pastoral sensitivity, coming alongside the reader to instruct and to apply his teaching to life in the modern world."
