Synopsis:

Do you truly read for comprehension?
How to Read Slowly: Reading for Comprehension will help reader see not only what writers say, but what lies behind their writing-their authorial standpoint. Divided by genre, students will learn to analyze the worldview of nonfiction, poetry, and fiction, as well as how to look at the larger context. Written for Christian readers. 191 pages, indexed, Paperback.

About the Author: Born on a ranch on the rim of the Nebraska Sandhills, James W. Sire has been an officer in the Army, a college professor of English literature, philosophy and theology, the chief editor of InterVarsity Press (a Christian publisher of books for thoughtful readers), a lecturer at over two hundred universities in the U.S., Canada, Eastern and Western Europe and Asia, and the author of twenty books on literature, philosophy and the Christian faith. His book The Universe Next Door, published in 1976 and now in its fifth edition, has sold over 350,000 copies and has been translated into 18 foreign languages. He holds a B.A. in chemistry and English from the University of Nebraska, an M.A. in English from Washington State College (now University) and a Ph.D. in English from the University of Missouri. His most recent book is a memoir, The Rim of the Sandhills (eBook on Kindle and Nook).
