If you need to sharpen your focus, take a look inside. Bringing the Bible into Focusemphasizes that gaining deeper understanding of the Bible begins with opening God's Word and asking good questions:
• What is God up to in this passage?
• How does this fit into God's big picture?
• What's the historical background?
• What's the emotional pulse?
Matt Proctor invites you to view each part of the Bible with fresh eyes, including:
• The Old Testament-more like a plot-driven novel than a history ledger
• The Law-a privilege, not a restriction
• The Prophets-a journal of God's private thoughts
• The Gospels-bringing you face-to-face with Jesus
• The Epistles-love letters from God
