2. Taste and See!
To “taste and see” the gift God gave to this church (See (Eph. 4:7, 11-13), you have a choice to read one or all of the chapters linked below. This week presents a real smorgasbord of spiritual food.
Abraham:
Chapter 12 of Beginning of the End is titled, “Abraham, a Good Neighbor in Canaan.” It begins with Abraham and Lot arriving together in Canaan, then splitting up because their herds were too great. It includes the story of Sodom and Gomorrah and ends shortly after. This chapter has sub-sections, and you can choose what you want to read.
Or you can choose to read the same Chapter 12 in Patriarchs and Prophets. And, of course, you don’t need to stop reading at the end of the chapter.
Elijah:
You can read Chapter 9 titled “Elijah Confronts King Ahab, in Royalty and Ruin, the condensed modern-language edition of Prophets and Kings.
Or you can read Chapter 9 in Prophets and Kings. (Clicking on the book title will take you to Amazon.com, where you can purchase a Kindle or paper version of the book.)
Isaiah:
You can read about the “Call of Isaiah” in Chapter 25 of Patriarchs and Prophets, and you might want to continue into the next chapter, “Behold Your God.” Or you can read Chapter 25, titled “Prophet With a Message of Hope,” in Royalty and Ruin.
Daniel:
For Isaiah, you could read about “Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream of World Empires,” in Royalty and Ruin, or you might want to read one of the later chapters. You could also read about “Nebuchadnezzar’s Dream,” in Chapter 40 of Prophets and Kings. The chapters before and after are great too.
If you choose to read any of the chapters I list here, please comment and let others know what you think.
John the Baptist
Humble Hero is a modern-language digest version of The Desire of Ages, and “The Voice in the Wilderness” in Humble Hero focuses on John the Baptist. You’ll find that the chapter is broken up into smaller section, and you need to choose “Next” to read the next section.
If you prefer the original longer version with more Bible texts, you can read the same chapter in The Desire of Ages.
