Do you long to dive deeper into the Bible, but don't know where to start? Or maybe you struggle to really get into God's Word, because there are a hundred other things competing for your attention. Reading the Bible isn't always easy. It can feel boring and confusing. It can seem irrelevant to real life. But just because something is challenging, doesn't mean it's not worth your time. Sometimes the hardest things in life also turn out to be the best things. The Bible is the story of God. It's his Word to you, about everything that really matters. Whether you grew up reading the Bible every day or have never opened a Bible before, the Growing Roots series is for you. This book will meet you where you are, and walk you step by step through the whole Gospel of Matthew, where you'll meet Jesus face to face. Each daily reading includes important background information, key definitions, and helpful insights, while also challenging you to think carefully about what Matthew's words mean for your own life. God is inviting you to get to know him today through his Word. It's the best thing you'll ever do.
