Product Description
Warning: This book could change the way you read the Bible forever.As God's written Word to us, the Bible is the single most powerful agent for transforming our lives. But too often our Bible reading becomes routine and fails to engage our hearts as well as our minds.
In Reading the Bible with Heart and Mind, Tremper Longman will help you discover the incredible power of the Scriptures to mold you into the character of Christ. "Even though the Bible is powerful," writes Longman, "we don't change just because we read it. Our minds may be engaged, but something needs to happen to our hearts as well."
If you want to rekindle your passion for God's Word, this book will help you learn to accurately read, understand, and respond to God's Word in ways that will develop deep intimacy with Christ and transform you into His image.

A simple, practical guide to reading the Bible by .. Jim C. Jimwood (Charlotte, NC)
What a valuable book. It's short, easy to read, simple, and profound. Read the first half of the book to get a great overview of what the Bible is all about. Read the second half as a handy reference for different genres and sections in the Bible. Are you reading through Isaiah? Pull out his chapter on the prophets to get some reading keys to take with you. Curious about the New Testament letters? Read his section on the epistles before, during, and/or after your Bible reading. In short, Longman's writing is accessible and practical-a trustworthy guide during anyone's reading of the Bible.
Excellent perspective by .. M. Shaw (So. Cal.)
You will love this book. The book was recommended to me as I doubt I would have found it on my own. The title does not convey the wonderful way this explains the Christian faith and how we need to read the Bible with our emotions and logic. The book created in me a strong desire to increase my daily Bible reading time by putting the Bible in perspective.

The title of this book says it all. Dr. Longman's personal style makes this book easy enough for the layman and advanced enough to be useful for the more scholarly minded. Read this book and find out how to read the Bible as God created you, a whole person!
