About this book
Learn how to sit at the feet of Jesus through pages of Scripture in this guide from New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer and the team at Practicing the Way.
In an impatient, hurried, and quick-to-critique culture, Scripture can seem dry and tedious - just one more task on our religious to-do list. This approach is tragic because we miss out on the life-giving experience of sitting at the feet of Jesus.
But as we learn to read with hearts open to Jesus and with an awareness of Scripture's cultural and literary backdrop, we can experience it as a channel to God.
This Companion Guide to the Scripture Practice from Practicing the Way offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, and guided readings. Featuring four engaging video sessions, the Scripture Practice is designed to be run with your community and is available online for free.
This guide will help you:
- Approach Scripture with the heart of an apprentice
- Integrate the Hebrew practice of biblical meditation
- Embrace the cultural and literary depth of Scripture for fruitful study
- Develop an "inner library" through the memorization of Scripture
Learn how to read Scripture in such a way that the presence of Jesus shapes not only your thinking but also the kind of person you become.
