What if the deep things of God were never meant to be reserved for scholars?
Scripture calls every believer to rightly divide the word of truth. Yet most of us were handed conclusions long before we were ever taught how to study, how to ask a question honestly, or how to sit with that question until the text itself answers it.
RIGHTLY DIVIDED: From Intimacy to the Deep Things of God is a thirteen-chapter anthology written by apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, ministers, reverends, chaplains, and scholars who have done the work of study without losing the warmth of relationship. Each contributor takes a subject the church often rushes past and slows it down: prayer, grief, endurance, mercy, healing, anxiety, discernment, the unseen realm, and the days we are living in.
The book moves the way discipleship actually moves. It begins with intimacy, because interpretation without relationship becomes mere information. It ends in the deep places, because relationship without study leaves a believer unprepared. Between those two points, thirteen voices show you what it looks like to handle Scripture with integrity, to read it inside its own historical and cultural world, and to let the text say what it actually says.
