I have to be honest, I am more tired than usual today and this time may not be giving Him my best, but I am going to push through it. The next chapter I'm focusing on is about Reading scripture Imaginatively.
I thought it was a very cool and different way to look at scripture, not as this boring book as so many people see it, but as real life awesome stories that are powerful and animated. Some advice the book gave was to try and crawl into the skin of the people I read about to understand them and their actions better, rewrite the passage in my own paraphrase as another way to spice it up, read in different versions, literally act out the story, and change the setting of where I read (go outside by the water to read parables because that's where most of them were delivered or go out to a field and read the Psalms because David was a shepherd and most likely wrote there).
