<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;">Tim Mulgrew thinks many Christians are missing the transformation God promises because we ask too little of the Bible He&rsquo;s given us.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;">Mulgrew&rsquo;s the author of the new book <em>The Book of Us: Discovering Ourselves in the Story of the Bible.</em></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;">&ldquo;I think we do ask too little of our Bibles,&rdquo; Mulgrew says. &ldquo;Most Christians treat Bible reading as a daily task, something that&rsquo;s required of their Christianity, but they don&rsquo;t see it for its true purpose: which is really to reconcile us to God and live the life He has for us.&rdquo;</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;">One question he suggests we ask as we read God&rsquo;s Word is this: &ldquo;Of all the events in life that clearly reflect God, why did God think it was important to capture these particular events, and why is it important that He has me reading them this day?&rdquo;</span></p>
