My friend Shane who works for the Church of Ireland Youth Department recently put together a devotional called FUEL that takes a different approach to reading the Bible.

Instead of reading a passage of Scripture and then someone’s commentary on that passage, Shane has developed a list of questions to help you walk through that passage and discover your own personal insight.

Questions like, “What word or phrase or sentence stood out to me as I read?” and “What might God be trying to say to me through it?”

Fuel is based on a time-tested, Christian practice known as Lectio Divina that leads you to READ, THINK, PRAY and LIVE.

I picked up a copy for the young adult leaders we took to see Rob Bell last week. A lot of the guys are really enjoying it and gaining new perspective from the Scriptures.

Shane has some instructions on his web-site if you would like to pick up a copy. Or just email him. He would love to chat with you.
