Like the nearly 200,000 readers who have used Dr. Anders' 30 Days to Understanding the Bible with great success, every Christian will benefit richly from 30 Days to Understanding the Christian Life. In this volume, innovative Christian communicator Max Anders answers the question "What does God expect of Christians?" exploring God's goals and plans for humankind, as well as His general strategies for those who seek to follow Him.
Dr. Anders' effective writing and teaching style make some of the most challenging scriptural concepts-such as knowing God's will, spiritual warfare, and using spiritual gifts-understandable in just 15 minutes a day. New believers will appreciate this concise overview of the Christian life; experienced Christians, Bible study leaders, and teachers will thank Dr. Anders for helping them "mentally organize" their beliefs and articulate the basics of the Christian life to others.
Max Anders (Th.M. Dallas Theological Seminary, D.Min Western Seminary) is the author of over 20 books and the creator and general editor of the 32 volume Holman Bible Commentary. Dr. Anders has taught on the college and seminary level, is one of the original team members with Walk Thru the Bible Ministries, and has pastored for over 20 years. He is the founder and president of 7 Marks, Inc., a ministry specializing in support for local churches.
I am thoroughly enjoying the book... and learning. I sometimes forget the context of a Scripture or the timeline. I still felt a bit of trepidation when I saw the book, but the first chapter put me at ease. I got all of the test answers correct, so that gave me a bit more confidence. Of course, it does become more challenging as you progress, but the structure of the book really helps. In the past, I have given up, even when using the chronological method of reading my Bible, so this way of following a plan is very useful. I definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand the Bible better.
