John Piper pretende mostrarnos cómo Dios trabaja a través de su palabra escrita cuando buscamos el acto natural de leer la Biblia, de manera que experimentemos su poder “sight-giving” — un poder que se extiende más allá de las palabras en la página.

Have you ever closed your Bible and thought, What did I just read? Whether you're brand-new to the Bible or you grew up in the second pew, reading Scripture can feel confusing or boring at times. Understanding it well seems to require reading it thoroughly (and even repeatedly), but who wants to read something they don't understand? If you've ever wanted to read through the Bible or even just wanted to want to read it, The Bible Recap is here to help. Following a chronological Bible reading plan, these recaps explain and connect the story of Scripture, section by section. Soon you'll see yourself as a child of God who knows and loves His Word in the ways you've always hoped for. You don't have to go to seminary. You don't need a special Bible. Just start reading this book alongside your Bible and see what God has to say about Himself in the story He's telling. "Tara-Leigh gets me excited to read the Bible. Period. I have found a trusted guide to walk me into deeper understanding of the Scriptures."--MICHAEL DEAN MCDONALD, the Bible Project
Sabemos muy bien que cuando se inicia un año todos queremos organizar nuestras vidas y, para una buena organización, una AGENDA es de gran utilidad. Y la razón principal es que se nos pueden presentar muchas actividades cada día, cada semana y cada mes, y confiar solo en nuestra memoria no es recomendable porque podríamos olvidar algo importante al llevar una vida muy ocupada. Con una agenda, la cual podemos ver en diferentes momentos, planificamos las actividades que llevaremos a cabo cada día, semana o mes y nos preparamos mejor de antemano. Por lo tanto, los espacios para cada día pueden aprovecharse para escribir, como en toda agenda, esas actividades frecuentes. Además, siguiendo la GUIA DE LECTURAS DIARIAS que hemos organizado dividiéndola por libros y capítulos, podrás leer la BIBLIA COMPLETA en un año y, si deseas, puedes usar los espacios de cada día para tus pensamientos, reflexiones o meditaciones basadas en la lectura correspondiente. En los espacios donde no hemos puesto la fecha, hemos agregado: NOTAS, para que sean usados para apuntes de interés. También para que escribas esas cosas por las que agradeces a Dios, y para que escribas esas cosas que deseas ver hechas realidad con la ayuda de Dios. Por eso están tituladas: GRACIAS A DIOS POR... Y LE PIDO A DIOS... Además, incluimos espacio suficiente para los contactos: NOMBRE, TELEFONO, E-MAIL. En la actualidad existen muchos métodos de leer la Biblia en un año. En este que presentamos, se dedican siete meses a la lectura del Antiguo Testamento y cinco meses al Nuevo Testamento. Esperamos que esta AGENDA BIBLICA CON UNA GUIA DE LECTURAS DIARIAS sea de mucha utilidad a todos aquellos que se inician o que han estado en el camino del crecimiento espiritual. Felicidades por organizar tu vida y te deseamos todo lo mejor: salud, amor, paz, prosperidad y...todo aquello que anhela tu corazón. Que Dios te bendiga ricamente. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN ARIAS, Con una Licenciatura en Teología y una Maestría y Doctorado en Educación Cristiana.
