Taking God at His Word: Why the Bible is Knowable, Necessary, and Enough, and What that Means for You and Me

Endorsements:

"This little book is a highly readable introduction to Scripture's teaching about Scripture that preserves the contours of a responsible and informed doctrine of Scripture, without getting bogged down in arcane details. Buy this book by the case and distribute copies to elders, deacons, Sunday school teachers, and anyone in the church who wants to understand a little better what the Bible is. Bad doctrine springs in part from ignorance. Blessed are those teachers and preachers in the church who, like the author of this book, combat ignorance by getting across mature theology in a lucid style that avoids generating theological indigestion."
--D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School

"In eight brief, easy-to-read chapters, DeYoung lays out beautifully the classic evangelical understanding of the nature and importance of the Bible in the life of the believer. Particularly helpful are the chapters on the sufficiency and clarity of Scripture, showing us why the Bible is enough and how its basic teaching can be understood by every reader. These are two key points. If we do not believe the Bible to be enough and that its teaching is clear, then we will be carried here and there by every wind of doctrine. I urge you to buy your own copy and read it. There is important teaching here."
--Carl R. Trueman, Professor of Church History, Westminster Theological Seminary; author, The Creedal Imperative and Luther on the Christian Life

"Attacks on the nature and authority of the Word of God have continued, unabated, since the serpent spoke to Eve. DeYoung's book is the best place to start for anyone who wants to understand how properly to think about Scripture, and why it must be affirmed as God's self-attesting authority."
--K. Scott Oliphint, Professor of Apologetics and Systematic Theology, Westminster Theological Seminary; author, Covenantal Apologetics

"The longer I do ministry, the more I appreciate a truly simple book - a book that rightly orients me to reality; a book that says important things in accessible words; a book worth taking to heart; a book written to care for the reader's soul; a book that helps to change how you live. Taking God At His Word is simple. It will help you know what you believe and why. It clarifies the foundation for all practical ministry. Because the Bible is God's own saving Word, you have something helpful to share with others who hurt, who struggle, who stray, who find life confusing."
