The Worth of God's Word: How the Bible Causes Delight In God

You were created to delight in God. It's in the DNA of how God wired you.

But we can often feel more like our relationship with God is on cruise-control or worse, simply a duty. Have you ever felt like there should be more to the Christian life than this?

Here's how we get to the more in our walk with the Lord: We read the word of God. God's word, His actual words in the sixty-six books of the Bible, are given as a gift to you from God almighty. Stunning. This book is worth more than all worldly treasures combined. For in it we see the means by which God has purposed to unlock the affection and delight of His people. He has used the Bible for centuries to cause and stir delight for millions of Christians.

God intends the words in His book to wake us in our worship and love and delight in Him.

How? In this book you will understand the story of Scripture and Jesus' love for you, you'll grasp the purposes of the Bible, and you'll grow in your trustworthiness in the reliability of God's word. These parts all come together to awaken us to delight in the God we meet in the Bible.

Don't you want to grow in your delight of the Lord? That's the aim of this book.
