actually listening to - scripture. Rather than memorizing and understanding everything you read, this New Testament overview encourages a more interactive but quiet time with God. The Meeting God in Scripture series is an accessible eight-week overview of the Christian Bible, divided into studies of the Old Testament and New Testament. The intent is to give the big picture through time-sensitive, half-page daily readings and journal space (see a sample page spread) combined with a weekly group meeting that includes formational reading experiences and discussion. "The Bible tells the continuing story of Gods relationship with humanity and with the people of God," writes one of the contributors, M. Robert Mulholland Jr., in the introduction. "In the New Testament the relationship between God and humanity is focused on the person of Jesus Christ and on the young community of faith in Christ. ...As you read the New Testament scriptures, encounter the Lord Jesus. Find in him a new way of living." Through this study develop a more holistic way of engaging with scripture, using heart and soul as well as mind. By using all of the senses God gave you, you'll open yourself to deeper levels of understanding - allowing God to set the agenda through the text and in your life. Listen to Gods word through scripture, and let it change you. A Leader's Guide is available.
