Few believers doubt the Bible’s ability to change their lives. The challenge for many is learning how to navigate the pages of Scripture in a way that impacts our everyday lives in a practical way. Understanding the unique nature and message of God’s Word enables the individual to apply scripture and therefore make a difference in his or her everyday life.
Using the analogy of a road trip, Route 66 by Krish Kandiah provides the tools necessary to navigate and apply Scripture in a practical way. The book contains eight sections – “living faithfully, distinctively, poetically, discerningly, prophetically, infectiously, purposefully, and hopefully each provide an introduction to a different kind of literature within the Bible and follows with questions for discussion and five days of daily readings.”
This book would be a wonderful resource for individual study or in a small group setting. The study can be completed in an eight-week time frame. The five daily readings are a great length, not at all overwhelming in length or in content. There are a total of 40 readings and a wonderful selection of discussion questions. The author does an excellent job of making the readings accessible and understandable. It’s a great resource for those seeking to navigate God’s Word! Bring a friend along for the journey, this trip down Route 66 has the potential to impact your Christian journey.
