Most Christians know what they believe, but not why. In this first Grace Aware Bible study, Dave Weston uses real stories, from a wrong map on a snowy mountain to a Greek-speaking mentor at church, to show you how to read familiar Scripture with new eyes.
Description
What if you only think you know what the Bible teaches?
For years Dave Weston went to church, read the commentaries and led Bible studies, yet he was stuck in a rut. Then a solo winter hike went badly wrong. He was lost on one mountain because he was carrying the map of a different mountain, and it taught him the lesson behind this book: you can sincerely believe you have the right map and still be on the wrong mountain.
Beyond What You Were Told is the first book in the Grace Aware Bible Study Series. Through honest, often humbling stories (an elderly mentor's questions about Noah's Ark and Genesis 3:22, a lost car fob, a sermon read word-for-word from a commentary), Dave shows how conditioning quietly shapes what we "see" in Scripture. You'll learn how beliefs drive your decisions, actions and identity. You'll find out where you stand on the Belief Quad and practice the R.E.A.D. method (Read, Evaluate and Analyze, rightly Divide) like the Bereans of Acts 17:11.
Each chapter ends with a short practice exercise, so you don't just read about seeking, you do it. The goal isn't to tell you what to think. It's to help you become a seeker who knows what you believe and why, resting in the good news of the blessed God, who has a good opinion of you.
Seek. Find. Be transformed.
