Every phrase, every verse, every chapter, and every book in the Bible comes from God Himself! It is the only way that we can know God and know His will for our lives. For this reason, it seems reasonable that we should establish a pattern of reading God's Word every day to know what it says and apply its teachings to our lives. After all, how can we know God's will apart from reading His word?
This is the purpose of 52 Weeks Through the Bible—to help you develop a plan for engaging in Scripture each and every day. Drawing on the teachings of John MacArthur, this guide includes:
As John notes, "My prayer is that the magnificent and overwhelming theme of the redemption of sinners found in Scripture will carry you with captivating interest from the beginning to the end of the story. This is your story. It is from God to you—and about you. It tells what God has planned for you, why He made you, what you once were, what you have now become in Christ, and what is waiting for you in eternal glory."
Widely known for his thorough, candid approach to teaching God's Word, John MacArthur is a popular author and conference speaker.

John's pulpit ministry has been extended around the globe through his media ministry, Grace to You, and its satellite offices in seven countries. In addition to producing daily radio programs for nearly two thousand English and Spanish radio outlets worldwide, Grace to You distributes books, software, and digital recordings by John MacArthur. John is chancellor of The Master's University and Seminary and has written hundreds of books and study guides, each one biblical and practical. Bestselling titles include The Gospel According to Jesus, Twelve Ordinary Men, Twelve Extraordinary Women, Slave, and The MacArthur Study Bible, a 1998 ECPA Gold Medallion recipient.
