Over the last forty years there have been noble attempts to write on the subject of hermeneutics for a broad, non-academic, audience-but many books on this issue remain complicated and go 'above-the-heads' of the average Christian reader. This is especially the case with the X-Y-Z demographic. You Can Handle the Truth has appeal for pastors seeking a comprehensive resource to recommend to their people (study groups, leaders, interns, etc), yet at the same time is written in an easy-going and conversational style (complete with humorous anecdotes, quizzes, personal stories, illustrations, articles, and more), to keep a younger audience engaged. Its message is simple: The Bible is for everyone-and you can handle it! 'Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth' (2 Timothy 2:15).
