This Is the Word of the Lord: Becoming Confident in the Scriptures

by Daniel R. Hyde

Overview

Are you confident in the Word of God? Are you certain that God speaks to you in and through the pages of the Bible? Daniel R. Hyde exhorts readers to grow in their certainty that the Bible is the Word of God, to know with their hearts as well as their heads that God has spoken, and continues to speak, through his Scriptures. When troubles come, it is crucial that your confidence in what God has said is strong.

Hyde hopes that by having a good grounding in what the Bible says about itself, Christians will be well equipped to stand firm.

Editorial Reviews

In the pages of this book, you will discover that the Bible is living and endued with life. It is a living word and not a dead book. How utterly amazing to consider that the creator of the universe speaks to us today through the Bible. 

Julian Dobbs(Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of the Living Word in North America)

All the different facets of this glorious diamond of the Bible touched me, humbled me, and brought me to worship the God of the Scriptures: what a privilege that God speaks to us. 

Willem van Vlastuin(Professor of Theology and Spirituality of Reformed Protestantism

The Bible we hold in our hands has been breathed–out by God himself! With the compassion of a pastor, the fortitude of a theologian, and the wits of a historian, Daniel Hyde sets our footing on this sure foundation.

(Associate Professor of Christian Theology

As Dr. Hyde rightly says at the beginning of this book, the difficult days of the apostle Paul are no different from ours. The Word of God continues to be doubted, denied, and destroyed. For this reason, I believe this book is pertinent for our days. In simple words, Dr. Hyde approaches the study of Scripture and puts it into practice. 

Luis Alarico(Director del Programa Interno

This book by Danny Hyde helps us to know what the Word of God is, where we can find it, and then how we can learn the art of the spiritual reading of Scripture as the Word of God for our lives.

Julian Dobbs(Bishop of the Convocation of Anglicans in North America)

As Dr. Hyde rightly says at the beginning of this book, the difficult days of the apostle Paul are no different from ours. The Word of God continues to be doubted, denied, and destroyed. 

The curious thing is that this even permeates the life of the church among professing believers. For this reason, I believe this book is pertinent for our days. In simple words, Dr. Hyde approaches the study of Scripture and puts it into practice. 

He says something very interesting about applying the doctrine of the Word: ‘”we are to read the Word as an act of spiritual warfare.” This is what we need in our churches today—not nominal believers, but real believers who live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God.

Luis Alarico

The substance of the Christian life is that in knowing God we know ourselves. To put it differently, God’s will is that in answering the question, “Who is Jesus Christ,” we may truly answer the question, “Who am I?” The only way to find an answer to those questions is the meditative and contemplative reading of the Word of God with the church through the ages. 

Contrary to some misconceptions by Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, Protestantism has a living tradition on the skill of the meditative and contemplative reading of Scripture. As the puritan divine Thomas Manton wrote in his ten sermons on Genesis 24:63, “In these solitary and heavenly retirements…we have most experience of God and of ourselves.” 

This book by Danny Hyde helps us to know what the Word of God is, where we can find it, and then how we can learn the art of the spiritual reading of Scripture as the Word of God for our lives.

Andrea Ferrari

It was a special experience to read Danny Hyde’s book on Scripture. I noticed that something was happening to me through reading about the mystery of God’s Word. 

All the different facets of this glorious diamond of the Bible touched me, humbled me, and brought me to worship the God of the Scriptures: what a privilege that God speaks to us. What a miracle that He opens His heart to us. What a recreating power we experience in God’s speaking. What absolute assurance overwhelms us through the witness of the Spirit in the Word. What awesome depths of salvation open up before us. How inexhaustible are these treasures. 

I praise the infallible Word and I invite you to share in this experience.
