Shows how we read the Bible and interpret Scripture in order to live in grace-filled relation to God’s divine purpose
Green contends that when we approach the Bible as Scripture, the Bible then becomes our book; these Scriptures become our Scripture. We are not reading someone else’s mail – as though reading the Bible had to do foremost with recovering an ancient meaning intended for someone else and then translating its principles for use in our own lives.
Argues that when we encounter the Bible, the fundamental transformation takes place, not through the metamorphosis of an ancient message into a contemporary meaning, but as our lives are radically changed by means of God’s Word.
Concludes that reading the Bible as Scripture has less to do with what tools readers bring to the task, than with their dispositions as they engage Scripture.
Thus, readers come to the Bible, not so much to retrieve facts or to gain information, but to be formed and ultimately, transformed.

Life Together : The Classic Exploration Of Christian Community
$15.99Martyred by the Gestapo near the end of World War II for plotting to assassinate Hitler, Dietrich Bonhoeffer left a legacy of writings that has become a prized testimony of faith and courage for Christians around the world. Life Together is Bonhoeffer’s inspiring account of a unique fellowship in an underground seminary during the Nazi years in Germany. It reads like one of Paul’s letters, giving practical advice on how life together in Christ can be sustained in families and groups. The role of personal prayer, worship in common, everyday work, and Christian service is treated in simple, almost biblical, words. Life Together is bread for all who are hungry for the real life of Christian fellowship.
