{"product_id":"read-this-first-isbn-9781784986834","title":"Read This First","description":"There is, of course, no better way to learn to read the Bible for yourself than to read it for yourself. Yet we all need help with learning to read—and all the more with the most important book in history and the very words of God himself. Gary Millar is a gifted guide for this most important of pursuits. Learning to read the Bible will not only give you answers; it will give you life—the very kind of life in your soul you’ve been longing for. | Whether you’re a new believer in Christ or a grizzled veteran of Christianity, this book will not only give you the tools to understand and apply the remarkable truths found in the Bible but also inspire you as you encounter the astonishing beauty of God found in his very words. | I recently provided new believers with study Bibles filled with notes, maps, quotes, and explanations. Instead of finding it helpful, they were bewildered. If only I could have given them a copy of this excellent book. From now on I will definitely recommend that they read this first. | If you want to be discipled by the voice of God more than the voice of this world, this book will help you greatly. | A simple, clear and immensely helpful guide to getting off and running with reading the world’s best-selling book of all time! | Read This First gives readers simple steps to understanding God’s word and gets their noses into Scripture by getting them to answer questions from the Bible. It works brilliantly for both mature Christians and those who are new to Christian things. | Gary Millar has a knack for taking complicated issues and making them clear. More and more people in our churches and in society are unfamiliar with the Bible. Here we find a wonderfully accessible book on how to interpret and understand the Bible. Behind the simplicity of this book is a deep and profound wisdom. An ideal resource for personal study, for small groups, and for continuing Christian education. | What could be more important than learning how to read, understand, and apply God’s word? Read This First is an accessible, encouraging, and jam-packed primer to help you read the Bible. This book answers so many questions­—even questions you didn’t know you had! | This is a wonderful book—fresh, engaging, accessible, practical and rooted in good scholarship. I particularly appreciate the superbly clear examples from Bible passages, and the way Gary Millar makes some pretty meaty thinking come across as not nearly so difficult after all. Thank you so much, Gary! I shall be recommending this with enthusiasm. | Gary Millar is the Principal of Queensland Theological College in Brisbane, Australia.
