Perfect for you if...

  • You've tried reading the Bible straight through and got lost in genealogies or contradictions.
  • You want a systematic method to understand what Scripture actually means before you try to apply it.
  • You're open to faith but tired of feeling like you're missing something everyone else seems to get.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer narrative-driven spirituality over structured learning frameworks.
  • You're looking for devotional comfort rather than interpretive rigour.
  • You're sceptical of methodical approaches to spiritual texts.

About this book

Living by the Book teaches readers how to engage with Scripture through a structured approach. The book addresses the common difficulty many people experience when trying to understand the Bible, offering practical methods to remove barriers that prevent Scripture from transforming daily life. The core method is organized into three steps: Observe (allowing Scripture to speak to you individually), Interpret (developing tools to properly understand biblical text), and Apply (learning how to let Scripture transform your life). The book presents these principles in a simple, step-by-step fashion designed to be practical and readable. The resource has sold over 600,000 copies and has helped hundreds of thousands of people experience comprehension of God's word. A companion workbook is available to provide practical application of the lessons taught in the main book.
