Review Quotes
"Savoring Scripture takes seriously the psalmists' confession that the Word of God is rich food that delights and satisfies. Abernethy offers a simple and well-rounded approach to Bible study that opens the path to formation and nourishment. Spiritual reflection without deep study is foolish; study without worship is lifeless. This book intertwines both and makes for a perfect recipe."
"Andrew Abernethy has produced an incredibly accessible and stimulating guide for how to study the Bible. You don't have to be a scholar of Hebrew or Greek, or an expert on ancient Egypt or Rome, as Abernethy shows, all you need is a teachable heart and a desire to learn. If you have that, then Abernethy has a great plan to help you get the most of your study of Holy Scripture, to have your way illuminated by the guiding light of God's Word."
"Does the Bible feel intimidating or irrelevant? This step-by-step guide offers a simple but effective way to engage with Scripture for personal transformation. Andrew Abernethy puts his academic credentials in service of the church in this down-to-earth book. Beginners will experience the Bible as was intended-as a true story that changes us and helps us connect with God."
"We desperately need books that help people in the church read the Bible more faithfully. Andrew Abernethy provides an engaging guide to readers who want to more competently understand this book that has been changing lives for centuries."
