Sweeter Than Chocolate: Developing a Healthy Addiction to God's Word Christy Bower

Publisher Marketing: The psalmist says the Word of God is "sweeter than honey" (Psalm 19:10; 119:103) but a more fitting metaphor for us today is to say God's Word is sweeter than chocolate. Yet is that really how we feel? We want to delight in God's Word, but how do we get past our perception of it as difficult, boring, and irrelevant? Author Christy Bower shows us how to develop a love for God's Word like our love for chocolate. She provides readers with a quick overview of the entire Bible; offers suggestions for Bible study methods and meditation practices; and suggests tools helpful in carving up the chocolate sculpture, the Bible. One of the unique aspects of the book is Christy's discussion of left-brained and right-brained approaches to the Bible. People who are dominantly left-brained prefer structured, detailed study. People who are right-brained often find study frustrating and boring because they prefer creative, interactive approaches. These right-brained approaches are integrated in creative forms of meditation. Both study and meditation are important, but understanding your preference will lessen the frustration and allow you the freedom to engage the Bible according to how God made you. Immerse yourself in the Bible with a hint of chocolate and you'll never see the Bible the same.
