Publisher's Description of Transformed by Truth: Why and How to Study the Bible for Yourself as a Teen
Studying God's Word as a teenager changed my life ... And it can change yours, too.

Katherine Forster walks you through three simple practices that changed how she reads Scripture—observation, interpretation, and application— so you too can begin to understand what God has said in his word and discover how God’s truth can literally transform you from the inside out.
