Eating Your Words: An Introduction to Reading Biblical Narrative

By M. Kent Travis

From the back cover:"Your words were found, and I ate them,and your words became to me a joyand the delight of my heart,for I am called by your name." (Jeremiah 15:16)The Bible is a feast, waiting to be tasted and savored, waiting to nourish and brighten our souls. But if we do not come to the table aware of what we're eating, we'll surely miss some of the experience. Eating Your Words invites readers to remember the rich color and texture of the Bible, and to read it with eyes that see and understand the narrative art and craft of its stories. Why? Because grasping the biblical narrators' literary form and technique allows us greater understanding of the Bible's meaning. So come. Come to the feast. Eat of God's words-as Jeremiah did. See that they are, indeed, sweeter than honey to the mouth (Psalm 119:103). Hear and see and believe. Be saved and sanctified by the very active Word of God, as it pierces the innermost being. And yes, see that the true story-as story-is good.
