Stories help us relate one thing to another and the Bible is no different. Chuck Swindoll shares stories from his life in The Swindoll Study Bible to help us connect the real word of the Bible with the real world of today.
God’s Word is relevant—but it’s also practical for our lives today. Chuck Swindoll’s goal in writing this study Bible is to make the complicated simple without being simplistic so anyone can grasp scriptural truth and deepen his or her walk with Jesus.
God’s desire is that we’d learn His Word so that we’d walk closer with His Son. Chuck Swindoll has spent his entire life studying the Bible and he decided to share his love for it and what he’s learned along the way about it.
To those who weep from loss, Jesus offers hope—a future resurrection and eternal life to all who believe. When God delays answering our prayers, remember that He has a better time and way.
