Why Study the Bible?

I’ve started reading Living by the Book by Howard and William Hendricks (available on Amazon).  “The adventure of your life awaits!”  Although I’ve read through the Bible nearly 100 times from cover to cover, I still crave the Word.  This book is helping me develop better ways to observe, read, hear, interpret, and apply the Word to my everyday life.  Professor Hendricks presents three benefits of Bible Study — growth, obedience (maturity), and effectiveness.  And it’s available for anyone! No special skills required.  Dr. Hendricks says, “If you can read, you can glean important insight from Scripture.”
