• Tozer: “Come at once to the open Bible, expecting it to speak to you.”
• Tozer: God “spoke a book in lives…constantly speaking His words and causing the power of them to persist across the years.”
• “Approach it as a book that is now speaking to us, not something that was once spoken and is now only history.”
• Before reading, “ask God to help the pages of Scripture become alive to us.”
• While reading, we should be “constantly praying, praising…confessing…making commitments…asking for power to live by the teachings.”
