For Christians, the Bible is a book inspired by God. Its eternal words are transmitted across the world by fallible human hands. Following Jesus’s departing instruction to go out into the world, the Bible has been a book in motion from its very beginnings, and every community it has encountered has read, heard, and seen the Bible through its own language and culture. 
 
In The Bible, Bruce Gordon tells the astounding story of the Bible’s journey around the globe and across more than two thousand years, showing how it has shaped and been shaped by changing beliefs and believers’ radically different needs. The Bible has been a tool for violence and oppression, and it has expressed hopes for liberation. God speaks with one voice, but the people who receive it are scattered and divided—found in desert monasteries and Chinese house churches, in Byzantine cathedrals and Guatemalan villages.
 
Breathtakingly global in scope, The Bible tells the story of this sacred book through the stories of its many and diverse human encounters, revealing not a static text but a living, dynamic cultural force.

This devotional probes the depths of Scripture, calling us to radical discipleship. Russel D. Fox observes that the church is struggling with pursuing holiness, which leads to conflict and the splintering of churches. Drawing from his experiences growing up and his career in the car business, he shares how to apply biblical principles as you pursue holiness. He considers questions such as: - What must we do before we work on our holiness? - How can we draw closer to the Father through the Son? - How can we enter the kingdom of heaven? - What are the consequences of sin? You're encouraged to read each devotional with God's Word open. Take time to chew on what you have read and meditate on God's Word and journal as you go through this book. These thought-provoking devotionals will challenge you to go on a deeper, more profound walk with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
