Discovering: The Bible — What’s in It for You?

Where did the Bible come from, and where do you start reading? This 8-page booklet introduces the Bible’s writers, its best-known stories, and its message of hope in Jesus, with simple first steps for new readers. Bible verses are from the ESV. Adapted from the Emmaus Worldwide course by James T. Dyet.

Part of the Discovering Series, this booklet is designed to help you introduce someone to God’s Word and invite them into further Bible study. Share it with a friend, include it in an outreach or care package, or use it to begin a conversation with an individual or group. Each booklet includes space for your contact information so readers can connect with you to continue studying. These brief studies aren’t replacements for full Emmaus courses—they’re starting points that can lead to deeper study and ongoing discipleship.
