Searching the Scriptures: Find the Nourishment Your Soul Needs

A 2017 ECPA Christian Book Award finalist in the Christian Living category.

Are you getting the spiritual nourishment you need?

Optimal health requires optimal nutrition. The same is true spiritually speaking. Without sufficient and regular biblical nutrition, our inner lives begin to suffer the consequences. We become shallow and selfish, more demanding and less gentle, and quick to react impatiently, rashly, and angrily. These are telltale signs of inner malnutrition.

In Searching the Scriptures, respected Bible teacher Chuck Swindoll shows us how to dig deep into Scripture and uncover its profound truths for our lives. He outlines the principles of Bible study that will help you understand God’s Word, apply it, and communicate it clearly to those around you.

Filled with wisdom and Bible study tools, this book offers:

• Exercises after each chapter to help you practically learn how to study the Bible
• An overview of the narrative of Scripture so you can understand God’s story
• A guide to studying the Bible through observation, interpretation, correlation, and application

Too many people try to go it alone, without a guide, for this life and the next. Chuck explains how we can fix our own spiritual meals, then invites us to feast on nourishing truths we can discover in God’s Word.

Charles R. Swindoll is the founder and senior pastor–teacher of Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas.

Chuck and his wife, Cynthia, his partner in life and ministry, have four grown children, ten grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
