ELKHART, Ind. - June 9, 2016 - PRLog -- With over 1,600 powerful verses from the World English Bible and its Messianic Edition, David Rhodes' 'Responsive Readings for the Modern Church' is a resource for contemporary readers seeking the Word of God. Arranged thematically by keywords and psalms, these scriptures invite and encourage the faithful to connect with God and the redemptive life of Jesus.
The author's inspiration came in church with an opportunity to present scripture readings during worship: "Wanting to move the congregation to verbalize God's Word, I decided to incorporate responsive readings. I found that sources of these were limited, so I began to work on my own arrangements. And so this book was born."
The first section of responsive readings draws from various books of the Bible and is organized by keywords like "Faith," "Hope," and "Sacrifice." The second section follows a similar format but focuses on the Book of Proverbs, while the third is based on the Book of Psalms. Together these collections provide the reader with a guide to life that resonates with the Christian spirit, communicating, writes Rhodes, "God's unfolding plan for the human race from creation to eternity."
Rhodes chose the World English Bible and its Messianic Edition for their modern language and because these works are in the public domain. Every verse is meticulously cited, with the ebook enabling readers to navigate easily between the readings and their respective references.
Rhodes, a long-serving missionary, has spent many years working to bridge the gap between God and his fellow man. He hopes this book of responsive readings will bring the reader a few steps closer to embracing the holiness within.
"For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)
'Responsive Readings for the Modern Church' is published in ebook and paperback by eBookIt.com and is now available at popular online retailers, including Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com, and Apple iBookstore.
Author David Rhodes is available for interviews.
