A Book Recommendation

If you ever wondered how valuable each arm in a Major League bullpen really is, look no further than the 2005 edition of the Texas Rangers. With Frankie Francisco shelved due to injury and Carlos Almanzar out on bereavement leave following the deaths of his mother and brother, the make-shift Ranger bullpen has managed to blow 5 of 7 save opportunities. Ouch!

On Wednesday evening's, the Bible class I teach is studying Hermeutics. That is a fancy word thrown around by Bible scholars that simply means how does one accurately interpret the Bible.

If you've ever wanted to get more out of your study of God's Word, then I'd like to recommend a book for you. Gordon Fee and Douglas Stuart wrote, what has been for many years, a standard text on Biblical Interpretation. The book is entitled How to Read the Bible for all its Worth. It is a wonderful text that helps understand sound principles in arriving at the original meaning and application of the text of Scripture.
