Synopsis

Are you getting the spiritual nourishment you need?We have all experienced times when we have not eaten a balanced diet or have eaten too many sweets. We feel sick, light-headed, and occasionally depressed, or we become irritable and edgy. It’s the body’s way of letting us know that it’s lacking sufficient nourishment. Optimal health requires optimal nutrition. The same is true spiritually speaking. Without sufficient and regular biblical nutrition, our inner life begins to suffer the consequences. We become shallow and selfish, more demanding and less gentle, and quick to react impatiently, rashly, and angrily. These are telltale signs of inner malnutrition.In Searching the Scriptures, respected Bible teacher Charles Swindoll shows us how to dig deep into scripture and uncover its profound truths for our lives. He outlines the principles of Bible study that will help you understand God’s Word, apply it, and communicate it clearly to those around you.Too many people try to go it alone, without a guide for this life and the next. Swindoll explains how we can fix our own spiritual meals and then invites us to feast on nourishing truths we can discover in God’s Word.

As an employee of Insight for Living Ministries (the Bible-teaching ministry of Charles R. Swindoll) I stalked my email in hopes of an advance preview of the book, which I heard......more

Goodreads review by Becky on September 04, 2016

Years ago, I heard Chuck Swindoll preaching on the fruits of the Holy Spirit. He mentioned that the go-to scripture is in Galatians, and that many people believe that is the ONLY fruit of the Holy Spirit, but then he went on to explain there are so many more: The Fruit of our Lips is in Hebrews The F......more

Goodreads review by Dana on September 13, 2016

I’m so excited to have an oppertunity to review Searching the Scriptures. Growing up in a church and a Christian household the Bible was important. It was something that was encouraged to read and study. But, I was never really taught the “how” when it came to opening it up. There are plenty of ways......more

Goodreads review by Rebecca on August 29, 2016

Sometimes, we get ourselves into the situation as Christians, where we’re not actually reading the Bible. We might be doing a Bible study, reading a devotional or reading a book about the Bible, but we’re not sure how to approach the Bible ourselves. That is a weakness that Charles Swindoll attempts......more

Goodreads review by Kristin on January 07, 2017

Hands down one of the best books I read in 2016. I love the use of the process of cooking as the running example throughout the book. It reads almost like a biblical textbook. Looking forward to reading more from Mr. Swindoll.......more
