Devote Yourself to the Public Reading of Scripture: The Transforming Power of the Well-Spoken Word
"Jeffrey Arthurs builds a compelling case for a biblically mandated but embarrassingly neglected ministry--public Scripture reading. This book is not only biblical, reminding the reader of commonly overlooked texts that bear on the subject, but is is also up-to date, informative, well documented, clearly illustrated, unfailingly wise, and eminently helpful. I found excellence on every turn of th epage. I can't recommend it too highly." (Greg R. Scharf, Professor of Pastoral TheologyTrinity Evangelical Divinity School2012-12-01)"God created the universe with the power of his spoken word and continues to refashion lives where his Word is heard today. Jeffrey Arthurs serves the Church well by showing us why and how to read God's powerful words." (J. Kent Edwards, Professor of Preaching & LeadershipTalbot School of Theology2012-12-01)"I rejoice to see this new work. I pray that it will influence a new generation of leaders to restore the historic practice of public Scripture reading in corporate worship."
