From the Publisher:<\/em><\/p>\n

We know the Bible is important, but many of us struggle with it. We\u2019re not biblical experts\u2014though we may have started enough reading plans to be really familiar with Genesis. If we\u2019re honest, the Bible often intimidates us, confuses us, and reading it doesn\u2019t always thrill us.<\/p>\n

And yet, the Bible is where God reveals his loving character and incredible plan of redemption. In a practical and engaging manner, Matt Smethurst\u2014managing editor of The Gospel Coalition\u2014presents nine heart postures that will prepare you to unpack all that\u2019s awaiting you in God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n

Although there are many great resources on how to read and study Scripture, hardly any focus exclusively on how to approach it in the first place. That\u2019s what Smethurst provides in this unique \u201cprelude\u201d to opening your Bible. For without the right heart postures, we\u2019re not yet ready to start reading.<\/p>\n[embed]https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=J27Xa-3MeY4[\/embed]\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":32165,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[217,218,463],"product_tag":[],"composite_virtual":false,"composite_layout":"","composite_add_to_cart_form_location":"","composite_editable_in_cart":false,"composite_sold_individually_context":"","composite_shop_price_calc":"","composite_components":[],"composite_scenarios":[],"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"yoast_head":"\nBefore You Open Your Bible - Classical Education Books<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/classic.powertactics.com\/product\/before-you-open-your-bible\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Before You Open Your Bible - Classical Education Books\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"From the Publisher: We know the Bible is important, but many of us struggle with it.
