The Bible uses powerful questions to pique the reader’s interest, stimulate natural curiosity, and engage the believer’s mind and heart in spiritual discovery. The use of carefully-worded questions as an approach to teaching the Bible is an amazing (and often overlooked) means of communicating truth.
Powerful Questions and Insightful Answers
With the Lamplighters New Testament Series, you will have access to more than 2,400 thought-provoking questions and insightful answers on various books of the Bible. Imagine going beyond asking simple, boiler plate questions (“What is this Bible passage saying to you?” or “How can you apply this passage to your life?”) to ones that get to the heart of a Bible passage and cause lives to be changed for God’s glory.

Let me say up front that I use Wordsearch almost every single day because I study every day. There are two main features that help me immensely.
1. The Topics button
A. Subject Research
This tool enables me to do in-depth studies on any particular subject I want to research. For example, if I am preaching through the book of Job and want to find material on “trials.” By finding verses and information about “trials,” I can then form an outline on this particular subject or incorporate the principles into my message.

A Detailed and Thorough Exposition of Scripture
Each commentator carefully reveals the meaning of every Bible passage. Reading this commentary is both refreshing and inspiring. The Bible Speaks Today contains many “aha” moments. The authors always seek to offer applications that are relevant to us today. This makes The Bible Speaks Today ideal for preaching and teaching.

“My continued hope and prayer is that you will find these volumes helpful in your own study and personal application of the Bible. May they help you come to realize, as I have over these many years, that God’s word is as timeless as it is true.” -Chuck Swindoll
Swindoll’s Living Insights New Testament Commentary brings the Bible to life. Newly revised and expanded, the 14 volumes draw on author and Gold Medallion Award winner Swindoll’s 50 years of experience with studying and preaching God’s Word. A self-proclaimed “addict” to the examination and proclamation of the Scriptures, Swindoll says his major goal in life is to “communicate the Word with accuracy, insight, clarity, and practicality.”
