Description
A lot of us have tried to read the Bible. And we have now failed. Christian Piatt has too. But now, the use of the once a year lectionary as his guide, he has put together a devotional that allows us to read through major parts of the Old and New Testaments and in the end keep in mind them in plain English. Each week has several Scripture readings, explanations of confusing terms, a story, a deeper dive into interesting themes, and a closing prayer.
You can use it as a weekly study or browse a thematic list for something you’re curious about. It’s an ideal resource to use with a friend or small group, but it’s set up to be accessed by someone who has enough curiosity, openness, and desire to grow.
Start anywhere. Set it down and come back to it. There is no “mistaken way” to use Surviving the Bible. Engage ancient texts in new ways that make sense, here and now, perhaps for the first time. Any way you use it, it’s sure to challenge and inspire.
