Why the Bible?

The Bible claims to be a book that records the words and thoughts of God himself. That is a big claim. If that claim is true, it certainly explains why so many enthusiastically read its stories, religiously memorize its verses, and passionately proclaim its message. But if that assertion is not true, then scores of people have been profoundly misled, and perhaps should begin looking for divine wisdom elsewhere. In Why the Bible? Mike Fabarez explores the claim that the Bible is God's communication to mankind, and seeks to concisely answer the question of why millions of people through the centuries have put so much stock in this ancient book. Dr. Fabarez then goes on to provide practical direction for those who say they embrace the Bible's divine origins.

Dr. Mike Fabarez is the founding pastor of Compass Bible Church in Aliso Viejo, California. Pastor Mike is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute, Talbot School of Theology and Westminster Theological Seminary in California. Mike is heard on hundreds of stations across the country on the Focal Point radio program and has authored several books, including Preaching That Changes Lives and Praying for Sunday. Mike and his wife Carlynn live in Laguna Hills with their three children, Matthew, John and Stephanie.
