About Ears2Hear
Christians often struggle to hear God speak through the Bible. The problem in part is that sound principles and methods for interpreting the Bible are not known or practiced. Instead, everyone does what is right in their own eyes. My name is Bill Lawson, and I have established Ears2Hear to provide guidance for Christians as they seek to hear God speak through the Bible. I have dedicated my life to interpreting the Bible and Ears2Hear contains the results of a lifetime of seeking to hear God speak. At the heart of Ears2Hear is my book on Biblical Interpretation–Ears to Hear: A Guide for the Interpretation of the Bible. In addition, Ears2Hear contains my interpretations of a variety of books in the Old and New Testaments. These interpretations are not traditional commentaries but my attempt to hear God speak. In addition I include tools for Interpretation that I have developed over the years. All of these resources are available free in Word documents on Ears2Hear. Ears2Hear also contains links to eBook publishers where these resources are also available for free. It is my hope and prayer that you will hear God speak more clearly with Ears2Hear.
