Product Description

Be Prepared for a Power Encounter!

Most Christians rely on the Bible for answers, encouragement, and inspiration. We value the Bible above other books, but do we know its true power?

Much is at stake when we don’t fully understand what the Bible is and why God gave it to us. In The Transforming Word, Tony Evans invites readers to discover why knowing the Bible matters so much—and how it can transform our lives.

Learn why the Bible is unique, inspired, authoritative, and sufficient for all matters in our life, as Evans explores the answers to questions such as:

• Where did the Bible come from?

• How do I know the Bible is true?

• How can the Bible change my life?

This thorough, down-to-earth study of the Bible’s nature, teachings, and benefits will transform your understanding of the Bible—and your walk with Christ.
