+ Want to read

When it comes to reading and understanding the Bible, a dangerous phrase is used by non-Christians and even some believers: "Well, that's your interpretation." It is true that without some care in your interpretation, you can "make" the Bible say almost anything. Dig Deeperis written out of the conviction that there is a right way to understand the Bible and a wrong way, and the authors show us how to read it correctly.
