The author of Ecclesiastes wrote: "Of making many books there is no end." Never has this been more true than today. We live in a deluge of media--books, newspapers, blogs, journals, and magazines--all insisting that their view of the world is most compelling. Which should you trust? This is no small question, according to Pastor John Piper. In fact, the answer has eternal implications. The 12-lesson Why We Believe the Bible Study Guide and companion DVD are designed to help your group or class explore and resolve the claim that the Bible stands above all others as the book of books, pointing infallibly to the King of kings. Through the five directed assignments per week within these pages and the powerful DVD teaching of Pastor Piper, you and your fellow learners will find God's Word alone to be worthy of our confidence.
