About
This is a book about falling in love with the Bible . . . that feels nothing like reading a book about the Bible.
This Book Is for You will help you learn that the Bible has something life-changing to say about who you are, where you are, and the God who is in the midst of it. When you finish this book, you just might say, "I see what she did here. I didn't realize it, but I was learning while I was laughing. She invited me into a dialogue about things I didn't know I wanted to learn. She stirred within me a love for the Bible, but it didn't hurt at all."
This Book Is for You invites you into the author's life using stories, humor, and charm, revealing how the Bible has become Tricia Lott Williford's daily lifeline. Regardless of your notions of the Bible, Tricia will help you engage with it as a living, meets-me-where-I'm-at thing.
Tricia is not a seminarian. She is a lover of God's Word. She is not a highbrow academician. She is educated as a grade school teacher who sometimes uses comic relief to make her point. She is not a theologian, a Bible teacher, or even a Bible scholar. Tricia is a lover of messy people; a mom of two teenage boys who are likely late for school and wearing mismatched socks. She has been known to absent-mindedly doodle in the margins of overdue library books. She has battled depression and anxiety to degrees that have nearly drowned her. She has begged the Lord for miracles that only He could provide. And somewhere in the midst of all that, she fell hopelessly in love with the Word of God as a light to her next step and the air for her next breath.
Now Tricia wants you to experience this too.

"Reading Tricia Lott Williford is like sitting down with a friend who is crazy smart but so warm, funny, and relatable that you're fascinated and not the least bit intimidated. Her perfectly-named new work is exactly the kind of book you want to press into the hands of others with a wink and a nod at the title. In This Book Is for You, Tricia leads us on a winsome journey through knowing, loving, and navigating the Bible, not as a know-it-all tour guide but as an empathetic fellow pilgrim. This book is for you. And for everyone you know."
Maggie Wallem Rowe, speaker, dramatist, author of This Life We Share
"I'm in absolute awe of what Tricia has created here. Whether you're new to studying the Bible or you've been doing it for decades, you'll come away from this book with a new love for the Scripture. This book is for you because God is for you. He craves for us to be people who understand the importance of learning to study his Word ourselves, not merely content on being spoon-fed the thoughts of others. Tricia writes in a magical way that makes you feel like you're simply having coffee with her. You'll come away understanding the hows and whys to studying the Bible in an attainable way. Grab a highlighter, friend-you're going to need it."
Teresa Swanstrom Anderson, author of the Get Wisdom Bible Study series
"Tricia is a trusted and winsome guide, taking us gently by the hand, inviting us to look into God's Word-either as a cynical longtime student or a curious bystander. What a delightful experience to have such a thoughtful guide to her beloved Bible. With the depth of a sage, she kindly concludes each chapter with practices for our actual life. This is a book you will underline and highlight. Read slowly and savor."
