This Is the Word of the Lord: Becoming Confident in the Scriptures
Digital Logos Edition
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.

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.

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
