"Someone once said: 'Other books were given for our information, the Bible was given for our transformation"...Truly, the Bible as the Word of God has an inherent power, but it is not a coercive power. That is, the Bible does not work its effects mechanically. We don't change just because we read it. Our minds may be engaged in the text, but something must happen in our hearts as well."
Tremper Longman III, Reading the Bible with Heart and Mind, 12.
