Public bible reading is something people often take for granted. But hearing God speak to our community is the highlight of our church gatherings. How do we practically speaking, read the bible well?  Backyard Bard, Simon Camilleri gives us some pointers: Historically, when the people of God stop reading the bible, they go off the tracks.  The sermon is not just the ministry of the word and the bible reading is not the tick box at the start. When people expect less from the bible reading, the harder it is for the preacher. Like practising music, the bible reading is something that takes work and needs feedback.   The keys to a good bible reading is clarity done through how you read. The relationship between the preacher and bible reader is important. All bible passages, even genealogies can be read well. TOOLBOX: More resources can be found at Public Bible Reading.
