Unleashing the Power of Scripture: A Guide for Catholics

by Mark Hart

In his entertaining and engaging style, Mark Hart (also known as "The Bible Geek") shows readers why Scripture should be central to our life with the Lord. When we become immersed in Scripture, he says, we allow it not the secular culture to form our minds and hearts. In the story of the Bible, we find our own story as we discover how much God loves us and desires to save us and dwell among us. This book also considers the place of Scripture in the liturgy, introduces the practice of lectio divina , the prayerful reading of Scripture, and shows how the Scriptures connect to the sacraments. Includes a ten-step plan to establish the habit of reading Scripture.

This was a fantastic book!
If you want an easy read to encourage someone, especially youth, to open their bible, this is the one!

Written by Mark Hart who is such an entertaining, inspiring and knowledgeable Catholic, this book makes the bible more accessible and less intimidating.

I have used Mark's course on the bible for teens (T3 Bible Timeline from Ascension Press) with a youth group before and am just about to use it again. I thought I would read this just to get myself in the right frame of mind for the course, and now I am more enthused to open my own bible - and I am a veteran bible fan!

Do yourself a favour - read this!

Mark Hart was straight forward, easy to understand and humorous. This is an excellent book to help encourage you and teach you the best way to go about reading the Bible. I highly recommend!
