    About this series

    In this study, you will learn that the book of Revelation is neither a riddle about the date of Christ's return nor a message only for Christians facing violent persecution. Rather, it speaks to all Christians in all ages who face the challenge of being faithful witnesses between Christ's resurrection and his triumphant return.Using the method of study established in previous Meditative Commentaries, readers will gain a deeper insight into the meaning of this last book of the Bible. And they will see that Jesus is more than a mere man. He is God's Son ... the Conquering Lamb.Do you want a deeper, more fulfilling way of Bible study? Do you want to know God through Scripture—not just to know the teachings, but to have a relationship with the Teacher? Perhaps you want to begin daily Bible reading, but need guidance. Or you need a guide for family Bible study. Or your small group Bible study needs revitalizing.This meditative commentary is for you. There are many commentaries on the books of the Bible and workbooks for Bible study, but this series is different. It employs the classic Christian method of "holy reading" to help you hear the voice of God.Holy reading involves slowly engaging a short passage of Scripture, listening closely, reading repeatedly, praying the words, and perhaps sharing with fellow believers. God will bless us, our families, and our churches if we take the time to be still, listen, and do his word.

      Using "holy reading," this book points us to God's voice in the gospel of Mark. This gospel is an action-packed, fast-paced version of Jesus' life and teachings. It invites you to profess that Jesus is indeed God's Son. And it invites you to live out that profession each day.

      Through meditation on the Gospel of John, we experience the life of Jesus, the Word of God made flesh. Written by one who calls himself "the disciple whom Jesus loved," the Gospel of John paints an intimate portrait of Jesus as one who is intimate with God the Father, who calls disciples to follow him, and who gives signs that point his listeners to God.

      A study of the shorter and sometimes neglected letters of the New Testament -- 1 & 2 Peter, 1, 2 & 3 John and Jude. As you study these letters you will be called to imitate the sacrificial life of Jesus while focusing on faith. The meditative style of "holy reading" makes the text more memorable and applicable to our lives. The Bible is not just an ancient book to study but a living window into the very life of Jesus. One way we encounter the living Jesus in the Bible is through the time-tested method of "holy reading" or meditation. This commentary series provides a structure for that encounter with Jesus. Holy reading involves listening closely to a brief passage of Scripture, reading it repeatedly, praying the words, letting them sink deeply into the heart. It can also be a communal exerience as we listen to God with other believers. Through meditation on these wonderful little letters, we experience the blessings of living for Jesus.
