These forty guided meditations from experienced Bible teacher Jan Johnson open us to the experience of God's Word speaking into our lives, giving individuals and groups the tools we need to encounter Christ with lectio divina.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><ul> <li>2017 Dallas Willard Center Book Award Finalist</li> </ul><p> <strong>Jesus is speaking to us here and now.</strong> Lectio divina is a practice of Scripture reading that treats the Bible not only as a text to be examined, but also as the living Word of God spoken anew <em>to us</em>. Experienced Bible teacher Jan Johnson gives us forty Scripture meditations, organized topically, giving us the tools we need to practice lectio divina on our own. Each meditation can be used both individually and in group settings, and includes</p><ul> <li>an introductory space of quiet along with an optional preparatory exercise;</li> <li>the full text of a passage from Scripture with explanations of unusual or important words, and with cultural and historical background as needed;</li> <li>cues to help us enter the text;</li> <li>space to contemplate the passage, respond to God in prayer and rest in his presence; and</li> <li>an exercise to try on one of the main ideas of the passage in our daily lives.</li> </ul><p> <em>Meeting God in Scripture</em> moves us beyond merely understanding what the text meant in its original context to a direct spiritual encounter with Christ.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Jesus spoke of the wise disciple who 'brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old, ' and this book does just that. It helps the follower of Jesus practice the call of Scripture to be people who meditate frequently on God's truth. The guidance given here is both time-tested by respected ancient writers and practice-tested in everyday life, as this book has grown out of years of fruitful Bible study leadership. There is a thoughtful grounding of the prayer and meditation exercises in the historical meaning of the text.</p>--James C.
