And none of them are to be trusted. In this deliciously chilling collection, award-winning and bestselling authors bring you tales inspired by the monsters that share our land.

The Bible isn't some cryptic code book it takes an expert to decipher. It's the story of God's sometimes tumultuous but always loving relationship with humankind, and it's meant to be experienced firsthand by every believer. So while the teachings of knowledgeable pastors and Bible teachers aid our understanding of what Scripture says, they are never a replacement for our own personal study of God's Word. With clarity and kindness, Jane Johnson equips you with the study tools you need in order to see for yourself what the Bible actually says. In Worthy, she shows you how to discover the context of several of Paul's New Testament letters, understand the plain meaning of the text, explore unique or repeated words and cross-references, and more. Only once you've dug deeply into each passage does she offer additional insightful commentary to reveal even more truth and help you make it personal. If you've wanted to make personal Bible study a part of your everyday life but weren't sure where to start, let Johnson equip you to go deeper than you ever thought you could go.
