Janet McHenry: Reading The Bible Isn't Really So Scary
Have you ever read all the way through the Bible? Maybe you started, but life interrupted and you stopped. Maybe the whole idea is too intimidating, and you haven’t even tried. We know God uses His Word to speak to us, guide us, encourage and empower us, and yet we seldom take advantage of the treasure awaiting us inside the pages of His Holy Book. A shift from should to want can make all the difference and our guest Janet McHenry has seen the life changing power that difference can make.
Janet McHenry is the author of 27 books--eight on prayer, including the bestselling PrayerWalk and her newest, Looking Up: Finding Joy as you Read and Pray Through the Bible. She serves on the California leadership team for the National Day of Prayer and as prayer ministries coordinator at The Bridge Church in Reno. Her prayer walking has been featured in national magazines such as Health, and she is the creator of an online Teachable course called Prayer School. Janet’s business name is called Looking Up! because she loves helping others develop a deeper relationship with God through the study of His Word and a praying lifestyle.
