Spread the Word

Some of us must summon our courage to share our Christian faith. Others take the platform to speak to large congregations and national gatherings about their lives, lessons learned, and God’s faithfulness in all circumstances. Speak the Word: 12 Leaders on Communicating the Truth offers testimonies and encouragement from a dozen influential pastors and Christian leaders—including Beth Moore, John MacArthur, and Barry Black—who speak to God’s desire to transform our lives for his glory. We hope this hand-curated collection of stories, published by Bible Study Magazine between 2008 and 2014, encourages you to see God at work in your life and to share your story with others.

Speak the Word: 12 Christian Leaders on Communicating the Truth

Discover how individual passages of Scripture relate to the whole as you read through the Bible in a year. Every day, you'll read a selection from the Old Testament, the New Testament, and poetic literature, along with a devotional tying them together. The application-focused content provides insight into the text, answers to theological questions, and explanations for difficult passages of Scripture. And thought-provoking questions help you live out each passage in your everyday life.

Connect the Testaments

We have all struggled to make time for daily Bible study or to rekindle the joy in God’s Word we experienced shortly after coming to know Christ. Study the Word: 12 Christian Leaders on Bible Study offers testimonies and encouragement from a dozen influential pastors and Christian leaders—including Kay Arthur, Max Lucado, and Philip Yancey—who speak directly to the truth and transformational power of Scripture for our lives. We hope this hand-curated collection of stories, published by Bible Study Magazine between 2008 and 2014, inspires in you a newfound passion to seek God through his Word.
