Scripture Practice: A Four-Session Guide to Reading the Bible as an Apprentice to Jesus

In an impatient, hurried, and quick-to-critique culture, Scripture can seem dry and tedious--just one more task on our religious to-do list. This approach is tragic because we miss out on the life-giving experience of sitting at the feet of Jesus.

But as we learn to read with hearts open to Jesus and with an awareness of Scripture's cultural and literary backdrop, we can experience it as a channel to God.

This Companion Guide to the Scripture Practice from Practicing the Way offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, and guided readings. Designed to be used with four engaging video sessions freely available online, this guide offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, and additional resources to help you and your community.

This guide will help you:

• Approach Scripture with the heart of an apprentice
• Integrate the Hebrew practice of biblical meditation
• Embrace the cultural and literary depth of Scripture for fruitful study
• Develop an "inner library" through the memorization of Scripture
