“There is no other book like the Bible. It reveals a different kind of wisdom, comes from a different source, and tells of a different love.”
–Kevin DeYoung

Have you ever wondered if the Bible is really able to help you with your most challenging problems? Have you struggled through difficulty or transition and desired wisdom and insight from the Lord?

Kevin DeYoung explores the sufficiency of the Bible. He encourages us to search its truth, assured that Scripture provides all that is needed to live our lives rightly and contently, and to equip us for every good work.

Taking God At His Word: Why the Bible Is Knowable, Necessary, and Enough, and What That Means for You and Me by Kevin DeYoung is an excellent book about why we trust the Bible. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it.  At CBC were always talking about the Bible. We can't get enough of it and in this short book you get introduced to many of the reasons why. DeYoung's writing is fresh, engaging and thought-provoking. This little book is a very readable introduction to Scripture’s teaching about Scripture.  John MacArthur said, “This is a brilliant, succinct, yet thorough study of the authority and sufficiency of Scripture, based on what Scripture says about itself. Clarity and passion are the distinguishing marks of Kevin DeYoung’s writing, and this may be his finest, most important work yet.” I heartily agree. Reading this book gave me even more hunger to read the Bible. It is well worth your time.

Here are some great quotes to give you an appetite for this read,

"The Word of God is more than enough to accomplish the work of God in the people of God."

"You do not need another special revelation from God outside the Bible. You can listen to the voice of God every day. Christ still speaks, because the Spirit has already spoken. If you want to hear from God, go to the book that records only what he has said. Immerse yourself in the word of God. You will not find anything more sure."

"The Scriptures are our spectacles (to use Calvin’s phrase), the lenses through which we see God, the world, and ourselves rightly."

“No one who truly delights in God's word will be indifferent to the disregarding of it.”

“The most effective means for bolstering our confidence in the Bible is to spend time in the Bible.”

“You can think too highly of your interpretations of Scripture, but you cannot think too highly of Scripture's interpretation of itself. You can exaggerate your authority in handling the Scriptures, but you cannot exaggerate the Scriptures' authority to handle you. You can use the word of God to come to wrong conclusions, but you cannot find any wrong conclusions in the word of God.”

"God’s Word is final. God’s Word is understandable. God’s Word is necessary. God’s Word is enough."
