We all know that the Bible is different from any other book. As Pope Benedict XVI tells us, it has the power to draw us into “a conversation with the Lord” (Verbum Domini, 24).

As we read God’s word, its divine Author comes to meet us, inviting us to receive his life more and more deeply.

Benedict also tells us that because Scripture is so important, we need to “make every effort to share the word of God as an openness to our problems, a response to our questions, a broadening of our values and the fulfilment of our aspirations” (VD, 23).

The four sharings that follow come from people who work at The Word Among Us—ordinary people who have experienced God speaking to them in specific situations through the Scriptures. We hope these stories inspire all of us to pick up our Bibles and deepen—or even begin—our own conversation with the Lord.
