Aroma
is a "Coffee with Megan" true story from the point of view of one
struggling young woman who is wanting to grow and learn. It's about
reading Scripture in the midst of life and how the two
relate to each other.

A Word to the Wise:
Don't do this if you expect the
typical approach to Bible reading. It's different, it's
challenging, and it's not for everybody.
If you
can't "stick with something" that goes beyond what you already know or
are comfortable with, you won't like this. The first 7
weeks set up the study; it's the last 7 weeks that you'll see
the payoff!
This WON'T be
"devotion as usual."
This WILL require
that you kick your imagination into gear.

Do you really want
more from Bible study?
or are you just
talkin'?
If all you want is another devotional book, then stop reading.
You won't be interested in this.
. . . but if you want a genuine Bible study challenge, keep going.
1. You'll be looking over the shoulder of a real discussion group
about reading the Bible.
It's like a 14 week
course, but it's not a classroom, or a fill-in-the-blank,
or a test-taking approach. You'll be like a "fly on
the wall" in the coffee shop where this group is meeting.
2. You'll start at the beginning.
You'll be a watch
a 20's something young woman named Megan, and her friend Jason,
who are spiritually
searching for what's “going
on” in the wider-world of effective Bible reading. They're trying to find ways to take
their Christian devotional life to the next level.
You will watch and listen as they explore the
world of a conversational approach to Scripture.
3. You'll participate in
a few responsible conversations over Scripture
and cover territory that is usually left out of many Bible
devotions and Bible reading
approaches:
-
the magnitude of reading contextually
and responsibly,
-
the value of seeing English translations as attempts to
understand,
-
how to do word studies
or comparing one part of Scripture to another,
-
the usefulness of reading other ancient books along with
the Bible,
-
the joy of tapping deeply into areas of Scripture
that most people rarely or never go,
-
and more.

Here's what other readers are saying . . .
After reading the first couple of sessions of "Aroma" I found
myself looking forward with anticipation to the next session! Gary's
tactful and insightful way of drawing the reader into the lives of the
present day characters, as well as working through situations in their
lives that all of us can identify with in our own lives, gives us a
fresh new insight into how relevant the Word of God can be for our
daily living. I sense in this series the work of the Holy Spirit
opening up to the reader a fresh new approach for understanding and
applying God's Word to our daily lives!

The conversational style adds realism and relevance.

I enjoyed this walk with paul it brought up some very good ideas
and showed me areas that I need to improve thanks for your help.
Hubert Hall
I like the approach that you took with these devotions. It made the
lessons more personal. I’m sure that most of us would say that there
was something along the way that touched us in a meaningful manner. At
least for me, there was some aspect each time that mirrored something
in my own journey as an individual pursuing my faith.
