Starting with Scripture: A New Christian’s Guide to the Bible is a warm, practical companion for anyone beginning their journey with God’s Word.

Rather than overwhelming you with academic details or rigid expectations, this guide gently walks you through:

• Understanding what the Bible is—and why it matters

• Using free tools like BibleGateway and Bible apps
• Finding reading plans that work for real people
• Listening for God’s voice, not just reading for information

Drawing on decades of personal experience as a pastor, teacher, and fellow traveler, the author offers honest reflections, simple methods, and heartfelt encouragement.

Whether you’re opening a Bible for the first time, returning after a long absence, or simply looking for a fresh start, Starting with Scripture will help you approach God’s Word with confidence, curiosity, and joy.

You don’t have to be a scholar.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.

You just have to start—and keep walking.

The Bible is waiting for you.

More importantly, so is the One who speaks through it.
