"How can I read the Bible in a way that I enjoy it?" Edward Leigh Pell takes up that question as plainly as a man takes up a lantern in a dark place—not to display the lamp, but to help you see the road. Many know how to read the Scriptures in some outward sense: from duty, to find support for a belief, to learn a fact, or to quiet the conscience. Yet real profit seldom comes where there is no pleasure in the search; no one draws treasure from a mine with a yawn. With homely illustrations and steady counsel, Pell clears away the common misunderstandings that make the Bible seem lifeless or impractical, and shows how the Book "gives back according to how it is approached." He urges a sane, wakeful, prayerful manner of reading—one that brings the mind and heart into harmony with the Word, until Scripture opens like a flower in its proper air. If you have handled the Bible as a treasure yet have seldom tasted its sweetness, this book will help you turn the stem—and watch the gears begin to move.
