We tend to approach the Bible from a modern, Western perspective, but what we find in the Scriptures is an inspired conversation from a different time and place. Better questions come from the Bible out--from the vantage points of the people we meet in the pages of Scripture and the God who meets them where they are.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eAsking Better Questions of the Bible\u003c\/i\u003e, Marty Solomon points us to the beauty and wonder and hope contained in the Scriptures. God, we discover, invites our questions and can be trusted with our doubts. When we come to God and God's Word with curiosity, we leave satisfied and at the same time craving more as we discover a more profound understanding of what God is inviting us to become.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.2 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 07, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53495527899443,"sku":"9781641585705","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/zieKopXacR9781641585705.webp?v=1781589715","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/asking-better-questions-of-the-bible-a-guide-for-the-wounded-wary-and-longing-for-more-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
