Reading Numbers: The Lost art of Reading

Reading is becoming a lost art.

This is a problem for people who want to be effective followers of Jesus, because Christianity bases so much on what we find in the WORD of God... a collection of books called the Bible.

For many students today, reading would not even be listed among their hobbies... many students just don't read...

This means that reading any book of the Bible, and especially one that has lots of details, is a huge challenge.

Hear is a rough list of some tips that might help you... let me know if you have better ideas that I can share with others.

1. Set a regular time and place, and get a notebook (or computer)
2. Pray first: Ask God to reveal himself to you in the
3. Look for a few things that interest you as you read. (Don’t get stuck on things you don’t understand)
4. Ask God what those verses might mean in your life. (Sometimes its obvious sometimes its not)
5. Try to focus on one thing, each time you read, that you can work on in your life....
