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:

Its purpose is to present long-established principles of biblical interpretation to a new generation of Bible students.

Over the last forty years there have been noble attempts to write on the subject of hermeneutics for a broad, non-academic, audience-but many books on this issue remain complicated and go 'above-the-heads' of the average Christian reader. This is especially the case with the X-Y-Z demographic.

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).
