FREE e-Book: The Essential Secret
| 3 comments
How do you get “average Christians” to establish and
maintain a habit of regular of Bible reading?
That may seem like a rather mundane religious question; aren’t there
more important issues for Christian leaders to think about? Maybe.
But I’m convinced that correctly answering that simple
question is one of the most significant challenges and opportunities for the
Western Church today.
Because the real
issue behind the question is not just the renewal of a personal spiritual
discipline. Rather, it’s the renewal of
the Church itself.
So what I've done is write an e-book called The Essential Secret, and you are welcome to download it free. In it I’ve shared seven principles for
getting entire churches reading and enjoying God’s Word. I've discovered that's really possible. For the past 10 years, Scripture Union has
helped over 5,000 churches increase the level of Bible reading among their
congregants through a program called The Essential 100 Challenge (E100®).
I wrote The Essential Secret because I want to
share what we’ve learned from our experience with E100®; in essence, I want to give
you “our secret sauce.” My hope is you’ll add some of what we’ve discovered to your ministry so that more of your
people will begin reading and enjoying God’s Word.
Here’s a link to the free e-book: The Essential Secret. Feel free to forward it to your pastor or
anyone who might be interested. Thanks!
(Much of the e-book content appeared in Uncover Magazine, a quarterly publication from the American Bible Society that is devoted to helping ministry leaders mobilize their congregations to engage God's Word)
