Show Notes:

• The book, “Reading Your Bible for All Its Worth”, gives many tips to help you to find how fun and easy it is to start reading your Bible without making it a religious chore.

• The book, “The Best Kept Secrets in the Kingdom”, was written to equip everyone for the work of the ministry. It is not exhaustive in nature, but it helps our understanding of subjects like church, the gifts of the Spirit, church government, and true worship along with 16 more chapters, all of which get people into the flow of what God is doing right now.

• “Reading Your Bible for All Its Worth” was written after discovering that between 75% to 90% of all Christians don’t read their Bibles on a consistent basis, which was confirmed by many of Andy’s ministry colleagues and friends.

• Andy wrote these books using language that all people can understand. The books are both geared for the common person, especially those who have a hard time reading and enjoying what they read.

Quotes:

• It’s been an observation of mine down through the years that people are not readers like they used to be, especially men. Men are not readers.

• I wanted to gear it toward people who don’t read. So, every chapter is two to three pages in length.

• What we wanted to do was create and foster people loving the Word of God.

• Most people are waiting for somebody like me or another leader to do all their spiritual thinking for them.

Takeaways:

Both of Andy’s books are full of real kingdom tips that you can use in your everyday life. These tips are simple to understand and are very encouraging, especially for people who have a hard time reading and enjoying what they are reading.
