Better Bible Reading Podcast

The book of Ruth tells us a simple story, but there are numerous thematic layers to discover which help us to appreciate the beauty and depth of God's word. In this episode, we will look at character development, book ends, and thematic comparisons of the various genres of the Old Testament, all of which demonstrate that the book of Ruth is much more significant than we may have realized. Best of all, today's study methods can also be used in your study of other biblical narratives. I hope you find this helpful in deepening your love for the Lord and His Word.

It's February, the time of year when Bible reading plans tend to go out the window, stress amplifies, and our weeks start to get very busy. Worst of all, our guilt or our shortcomings so far this year make the prospect of Bible reading seem altogether overwhelming. It shouldn't be this way, but ignoring the problem or downplaying it won't help us get anywhere. Instead, we need to face these problems head-on. But first, we have to identify where the overwhelm is coming from. Here are four sources, and how to deal with them in constructive ways!
