"When we read the Bible something reflective happens, just like what goes on in the morning as we stand before the mirror. However, instead of getting a good look at our bodies, we get a glimpse of what is going on inside of us. Left to our own devices, we are lost, searching for our "true selves" in places that could never yield success. But the Bible articulates what is going on inside of us-tells the story of our lives-and ministers to our needs, our guilt, and our alienation."
