A Man of One Book

John Wesley (and similar from John Bunyan)

John Wesley once described himself as “a man of one Book.” John Bunyan said something similar: he was never long out of his Bible. The statements are not anti-intellectual. They are declarations of center. In an age of endless content, the quiet decision to keep returning to one Book still marks a life.

How you’d preach it

Useful when calling people back to the primacy of Scripture amid many competing voices and resources.
