Author Flames Passion for Bible Reading with Exposition of Psalm 119

(PRWEB) June 28, 2007 -- LifeSong Publishers announces the release of "Loving God's Word: 7 Strategies for Slaying Bible Apathy." Pastor Seth Kniep's exposition of Psalm 119 provides tools for reading and embracing all the verses of the Bible.

With Bible sales at more than one million a year, it is evident people are looking to connect with God. Yet many ask: "Why does my reading feel cold and dead? Why can I never find enough time to study the Bible?"

In answer, Kniep (pronounced ka-NEEP) has written a motivational 24-chapter exposition of Psalm 119. Filled with inspiration, anecdotes and practical answers, "Loving God's Word" draws readers to a deeper relationship with God and moves them to love His Word.

Seth Kniep, College and Singles Pastor of Calvary Bible Church in Kalamazoo, MI, is also a speaker and trainer for Divide the Word Ministries, which is devoted to training in Bible study, teaching, preaching, discipleship, evangelism, leadership, and prayer. More information on the author, including an interview, can be found at Kniep's media page: http://www.lifesongpublishers.com/Media.htm

Praise for Loving God's Word:

Through his in-depth exposition of Psalm 119, Kniep crosses cultural barriers, comparing the psalmist's faithful response to life's joys and agonies to responses of Christians today. According to Kniep, "Fellowship with God Himself is about loving God so much that you can't wait to learn what He has to say through His Word, letting it permeate your heart and life."

Over 100 years ago Charles Spurgeon said of Psalm 119, "This sacred ode is a little Bible, the Scriptures condensed..." Kniep believes that the true understanding and appreciation of this single Psalm can re-flame passion for the Bible in the Christian heart, and has written "Loving God's Word: 7 Strategies for Slaying Bible Apathy" to help feed the fire.
