My Bible and Me
by James BrucePublish: Jun 20, 2026Christian Nonfiction Book Overview
My Bible and Me is a deeply personal reflection on a lifetime spent walking alongside Scripture. For nearly eighty years, the Bible has been James Bruce’s companion—sometimes speaking with clarity and comfort, other times challenging him with mysteries that required patience, reflection, and faith. Like life itself, his journey through God’s Word has been marked by certainty, questions, discovery, and growth.
This book is not a theological study or academic commentary. Instead, it is the honest story of one man’s spiritual journey and how the teachings of the New Testament shaped his faith, character, and understanding of life. During a recent reading of the New Testament, Bruce approached Scripture with fresh eyes, creating outlines of each book and noting the verses that spoke most deeply to his heart. Those reflections form the foundation of this work.
Written in simple, accessible language, My Bible and Me offers readers a personal perspective on the timeless truths of the New Testament. It invites anyone—whether new to Scripture or seasoned in study—to walk alongside the author as he shares what inspired him, what challenged him, and how God’s Word continues to guide his life.
This autobiography of faith is a testament to the enduring relationship between a man and his Bible. It is a reminder that Scripture grows with us, speaks to us differently through each season of life, and remains a source of wisdom, encouragement, and spiritual strength.
