What is the Bible is all about?  What's in it?  Why is it so important for Christians? Is it really relevant for people in the 21st century?  Should I care about what's in the Bible? Why? What difference will it make in my life?  The study series, What's in the Bible and Why Should I Care? offers opportunities to explore these questions and others by opening the Bible, reading it, prayerfully reflecting on what the Bible readings say, and applying the readings to daily life.

The title of this unique and exciting Bible study series points to the two essential features of meaningful Bible study: reading the Bible and applying the Bible to life.
