Synopsis

How do we draw practical applications from the Bible? Reading the Bible should be like gazing into a mirror-we should look for a true reflection of ourselves and note the changes that need to be made in our lives, but how is this done?

 

Walk begins with a helpful explanation of the role that the Holy Spirit plays in this process. Then it teaches a simple-to-use four step method for enabling Bible readers to become Bible doers. This method is made memorable with the acronym COMA. For every passage you read, you will learn how to: discover its (c)ontext, make (o)bservations about what's important in the text, determine God's (m)essage from one of those observations, and craft an (a)pplication of that message for your everyday life.

 

Perfect for believers at any stage and those discipling others, Walk is a wonderful guide for those seeking to follow Jesus, honor God, and walk in the way of the Word.
