The Bible to Life Book

 

"Terry Smith has crafted a helpful book for seekers and people new to the Christian faith. It provides brief, memorable lessons foundational for growing as a Christian and developing spiritual patterns and practices for a vital faith. You’ll find it a good resource for both individual reading and group study and discussion."

-- Dr. Kevin E. Lawson, Global Affiliate Professor of Educational Studies, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University

 

"What a helpful little book, packed with practical and Scriptural recommendations for disciples. Dr. Terry Smith is a master teacher and long-time disciple, so read and enjoy; anchor yourself in these lessons and digest them at leisure. Or as Terry might say: Read, Enjoy, Anchor, Digest."

-- Dr. Jeffrey Arthurs, Robinson Chair of Preaching and Communication, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary

 

"Dr. Smith has used simplicity, ingenuity, and memory aids (mnemonics) like acronyms and acrostics in his most recent book, The Bible to Life to allow the reader to remember topics easier. His strategy allows individuals to learn the basics of the Christian faith and integrate those into one’s individual walk with the Lord. A unique way of helping to learn and remember. Embedded in the topics are many components of the spiritual disciplines that help believers have an ongoing path of spiritual growth."

-- Dr. Jerry Mick, Senior Pastor, Crosspoint Church, Bangor, ME and Director of Training for Outreach to Asian Nationals

 

"More times than I can count, I have read a passage from the Bible only to struggle to remember the key points of what I just read. Dr. Terry Smith has come to my rescue! He has come up with a creative, intriguing, and memorable way to help Bible readers like me embed Bible truths in my mind. Handy acronyms like RPG (Rejoice, Pray, Give thanks), FAITH (Fully And Intentionally Trusting Him), and READ (four steps to READ your Bible better) summarize Biblical teachings in a logical, sequential, and practical way. And then these are followed up by practical application questions for the reader. This alone makes the book worthy of study. I am happy to recommend this book to all who want to both to learn the Bible and remember what they have read using simple acronyms that make truth ‘sticky.’"

-- Rev. Bruce Stevens, Executive Pastor, Rock Church, and Chair of Rock School of Ministry Board of Directors

 

 

Communicating Like Jesus Book

--Dr. Wendall Calder, Local Church Evangelism

 

"To preach and teach well, the place to start is with the preaching and teaching of our Lord. That’s the place to start, the place to end, and the place to visit often in the middle. Terry Smith takes us to that place."

-- Dr. Jeffrey Arthurs, Professor of Preaching & Communication, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary
