Our goal at the Center for Biblical Studies is to help individuals develop a life-long spiritual discipline of daily Scripture reading that will transform their lives, impact the decisions that they make and help them feel deeply connected to God on a daily basis.
The best way to accomplish this is to read a portion of the Bible each day. We encourage those who finish The Bible Challenge to begin all again and to re-read the Bible each year. Such reading, however, will generate questions in a thoughtful reader.
Therefore, we have created a considerable list of secondary sources to help you deepen your knowledge about various aspects of the Bible. As you continue to read God’s Word each day, these books will help to enhance your understanding of Scripture.
With every blessing on your reading of God’s Word, The Rev. Marek P. Zabriskie
Founder of The Bible Challenge
Rector of St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania
