I’m excited to share with you a great resource that addresses one of the most significant issues facing the Church today — biblical illiteracy.
The Bible is the best-selling book of all time. Most of us have multiple copies on our bookshelf. We have audio Bibles on our iPods, and we can even read and listen to the Bible on our mobile phones for free.
Still, according to the Center for Bible Engagement, 66 percent of U.S. Christians rarely or never read their Bible.
Campus Minister, and author of Question Everything: A Fresh Way to Read the Best-Selling Book of All Time, Tyler Ellis has crafted this resource with intention of helping people — young and old — to explore the Bible, better understand the Bible, and more fully live out the truths of the Bible in their everyday living.
Question Everything is a 950+ page road map through the New Testament, in which readers are challenged to sit with every verse — EVERY VERSE — and examine it, before considering how the collection of verses in each chapter might speak to God, self, and others.
With almost 8000 questions, this book brings together two of the classic spiritual disciplines in study and meditation. Readers are clearly challenged to consider the stories of the New Testament from a wide-variety of perspectives and capacities, which ultimately forces them to move through the text more slowly, thoughtfully, and meditatively.
This resource has the potential to radically transform the earnest reader who is willing to more intentionally engage the Word of God, and give their growing faith in Christ the necessary time and attention it deserves.
Here are a few of the endorsements this book has received:
The reflective side of life is often forgotten in our fast-forward world. In Question Everything, Tyler Ellis calls us to slow down and think our way through the New Testament. He provides nearly 8,000 thought-provoking, engaging questions to stimulate our understanding of the Christian faith. This book will whet the reader’s appetite for a greater knowledge of the Word of God.

Intriguing… and powerful. In its simplicity and starkness, Question Everything rescues Bible study and reading from the perfunctory and returns them to the wonderous and exhilarating.
Phyllis Tickle — Author, Compiler of The Divine Hours Series of Prayer Manuals
The best Bible study engages the reader, brings clarity to Jesus’ teaching and provides practical application that works in the real world. Question Everything artfully guides the reader through the Scripture to achieve all three aims. I recommend Tyler Ellis’s book to every serious student of God’s Word.
