Covers most everything you'd want to cover in introducing high schoolers to effective Bible study.
Only issue I had was clarity about certain statements, but I understand that some clarity is lost in trying to be concise.
I really liked it and will employ it with students asap.

Bible Study: A Students Guide by Jon Nielson
This book was not what I expected, it was better. I admit before I started this book I assumed it would be a dictation on various excerpts, versus, from the bible. What I mean is I thought the book would explain how the author interprets various particular texts and why the author believes the text should be interpreted that way. I thought that the author would then use the same interpreting method to interpret other versus so the reader would learn how to get more out of reading the Bible.
This book is not an interpretation of the way the author views the messages in the Bible, but a guide for any person to examine how they are currently reading/interpreting the bible, and what they could do to improve their understanding.
