Publisher's Synopsis
The desire for this journey through the Bible is to break out of a daily routine of not living for God as we ought and not knowing that Scripture is where we get to know God and ourselves. Basically, it is a desire for God: As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God (Psalm 42:1). The cost of this journey is time and effort. The precious commodity of time might be dearer to some of us than money. However, there is another cost for this trip through the Word of God. It demands discipline. It calls for focus. It is work. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth (II Timothy 2:15). The plan for this journey is a systematic, book-by-book jaunt through the entire Bible. Over 52 weeks, Genesis through Revelation will be covered by means of teaching, reading, memorizing, praying, applying and sharing the unique contribution of every section of Scripture. Assignments will be given every week encouraging a daily focus on each portion of the Bible. This makes The Journey a year-long excursion into meditating upon the Word of God. Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long (Psalm 119:97)
