Searching the Word

by Dave Arns

Overview

What do you get when you cross a word-lover with a Word-lover? In other words, what do you get when you cross a person who enjoys word games with a student of the Bible? And then, for good measure, throw in a teacher and a writer. What do you get? This book. Much more than just a book of word-search puzzles, and much more than just a book of Bible lists, this book combines the fun of solving word problems with a fascinating way to study the Bible. Words or phrases from the Bible, and which fit into the same category, are used as the word lists for the puzzles. While you're looking for words, sooner or later you're bound to think, "What does that mean?" and when you check the info section for that puzzle, you'll learn something, and realize you've discovered a delightful new way to study the Bible!

About the Author

Dave Arns was raised in church, but didn't start actually serving the Lord until his sophomore year of high school, in 1972. Being of a rather analytical turn of mind, he was delighted to see that there is a Biblical mandate for all Christians to be analytical: I Thessalonians 5:21 (NIV) says "Test everything. Hold on to the good." That, coupled with Paul's exhortation to teach what "the Holy Ghost teaches," not depending on man's wisdom (I Corinthians 2:11–14), and the commendation of the Bereans, who "searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so" (Acts 17:11), pretty much define Dave's life, in the spiritual realm, as well as the natural realm. In the mid-1970s, Dave heard a sermon in which he was exhorted to "know what you believe and why you believe it," and he has been trying to put that into practice ever since. He has been known to abandon long-held beliefs when someone showed him that they were incompatible with Scripture; that attitude seems to be necessary if we want to continue to grow in the Lord.
