Bible Note: Greetings Hank - while I agree with most of what you have written, I do believe that there are many fine believers who, just like you, author some mighty important words for the body to consider. No, these books do not replace THE BOOK, but certainly aid in our understanding or even prompt us to dig deeper into it to ferret out these Truths for ourself. And I agree absolutely, that one without a working and on-going knowlege of God's Word will certainly be more prone to accept a line of thinking that satisfies an "itch." Therefore, BIBLE STUDY is an integral part of knowing and understanding God. For me, this particularr text increased my understanding of the aggressive nature of God's love for me. I did not care for it as much as I did "The Journey of Desire" however. I too am distressed by the number of so called "Bible Studies" that are no more than glorified book clubs. BUT, a skillful teacher can focus attention on God's Word and the Truths that an author has "fleshed out" in a text. As a young girl, I went to Sunday School and learned all the Bible "stories" but no one ever explained HOW they applied to my life - there was no practical application. Many Christian authors fill this gap - especially for those folks who have no "Bible teacher" at hand, but I agree, there is NO substitute for God's Word - we tend to forget about those in the world who only hear it, and do not even have a copy let alone a translation in their language to have and hold in their hand. mommapbs |
