You Can Handle the Truth: Making Sense of the Bible in 3 Simple Steps

Struggle to read your Bible on a regular basis? Find some parts confusing, complicated or even contradictory? Wonder how to make sense of certain passages, or question its relevance to your day-to-day life? Rest assured, you are not alone! While Christians are often encouraged to study and obey the Scriptures—very few are taught how.

You Can Handle the Truth is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to biblical interpretation (or hermeneutics), equipping everyday believers to read and heed God’s Word.

Be mentored on how to:

• choose a translation • read your Bible effectively • discover a text's meaning • consider context • see the Scriptures as a unified story leading to Christ • discern between literal and non-literal passages • find personal significance • share it with others

You Can Handle the Truth has appeal for pastors seeking a comprehensive resource to recommend to their people (study groups, leaders, interns, etc), yet at the same time is written in an easy-going and conversational style (complete with humorous anecdotes, quizzes, personal stories, illustrations, articles, and more), to keep a younger audience engaged. Its message is simple: The Bible is for everyone—and you can handle it!

'Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth’ (2 Timothy 2:15).
