"Our Bibles are stained with holy blood. The cover of every Bible bears the blood of prophets and martyrs who gave their lives to write, preserve, or translate the Holy Scriptures so that we can read God's Word. When we open the Bible, its pages lead us to the blood of Jesus Christ, His sacrificial death by which believers have forgiveness and emancipation from sin. If such a high price was paid so that we could have this Word, we should cherish the Bible with all our being and study it all our days. But alas, God's Word too often sits neglected as if it were of little worth, while professing Christians fill their minds with the words and images of this world. In The Word Explored, Dave Jenkins fields an array of motivations and practical insights for hearing, reading, memorizing, meditating on, and obeying the Word of the living God. This is an excellent resource for pastors who desire to call their churches back to the Word, Christians who seek spiritual renewal for themselves and their families, and non-Christians who want to know why Christians make so much of this Book." Joel R. Beeke, President, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan
