About

Watch the Bible come alive in your life like never before. Many Christians long for a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God's Word-but engaging with Scripture on our own can feel intimidating. We often rely on the writings of others to help us understand its meaning or read simply to gain information without allowing it to personally impact our lives.
But the Bible is a living, breathing, life-changing book, and God desires for you to have a firsthand encounter with Him through its pages.
In Holding the Word, Bill Mowry offers good news: you don't need a theological education to engage with Scripture. Mowry unpacks five spiritual practices-hearing, reading, studying, memorizing, and meditating-that will help you personally encounter God every time you open your Bible.
This multi-sensory, relationally rich Bible reading and discipleship tool will transform your relationship with the Author of Scripture.
• Discover a whole-body experience of the Bible using your senses.
• Learn from contemporary teaching and brain theory on why relational connection is vital to your walk with God.
• Develop a lifestyle of integrating the Bible into every aspect of your daily life, leading to personal transformation, spiritual growth, and maturity.
Let God's Word saturate every part of your being. Immerse yourself in the timeless truths of Scripture and experience the abundant life that comes from living and loving God's Word.
