Nailing down the basics is the key to running the race of the Christian life. There are certain fundamentals of the faith, and nuts-and-bolts principles and practices that every believer must understand. Building a house starts with laying the groundwork, and building a life of obedience to Jesus begins with definitive and defining foundational truths and rudimentary disciplines. All believers need a good report card in the elementary school of faith in Christ. And this book covers all the fundamentals in the Bible, such as the gospel, the Bible, baptism, the Lord’s Supper, church membership, missions, evangelism, church discipline, preaching, corporate prayer, small groups, worship, and much more.

Believers need daily meals of God’s word to remain strong. Healthy Christians are hungry Christians who eat the generous banquet laid out in God’s word. This spiritual feasting begins by harvesting God’s truth from the bountiful field of Scripture. And Bible Gleanings Volume II helps you glean truths from Scripture one “grain” at a time. Each devotional leads you to a fertile thicket of biblical grain, where you may glean until your basket is full. 

“Lately, I haven’t been getting much out of the Bible.” That’s a common frustration among us as believers. It happens to all of us on occasion. We open the Scriptures, read a chapter, and walk away with almost nothing. Get the most out of your Bible with this one hundred day devotional that takes you deep into Scripture through personal stories, brief expositions, and memorable illustrations. Bible Gleanings will help you gather and collect truths from Holy Scripture that will nourish your soul. Written by pastor and writer, Brandon Bramlett, who continues to write weekend devotional columns for the Murray Ledger and Times Newspaper in Murray, Kentucky. Bible Gleanings is a compilation of some of the best devotional columns written for that publication.
