got this book because I had already been using the EASY study guide for a couple of years. Since I do not watch the group’s YouTube channel, having the guide explained more thoroughly in book form was extremely helpful. The book includes a QR code that takes you to an updated version of the guide, which is much more detailed, though you still need to read the book to get the full context.
The book is structured in a way that makes annotating mostly unnecessary, with bite sized chunks, color coded headers, callouts, action items, and discussion questions. If you enjoy highlighting and underlining, this format may take some of the fun out of it, though you may still find a few things to underline. The authors walk through the EASY method using John 6 and share their own insights at each step, which makes it feel like they are studying alongside you.
One downside is that the book does not make it clear enough that not every step needs to be used every time, especially Enter Into the Story. While there is a brief note early on, this can be easy to forget since the E is a major part of the acronym. It would also have been helpful to see how the method applies to different genres of the Bible, such as Psalms or Proverbs.
The book does not take a denominational stance and focuses on how to study the Bible rather than promoting personal doctrine. The authors encourage the use of outside resources and discernment, which adds credibility.
This book would work especially well in a Bible study group, but it is also a good independent workbook for Bible study beginners, including those who want to learn how to systematically study the Word of God.

The EASY Bible Study Method by Ashlej Armojo, Taylor Krause, and Ellen Krause is an excellent resource for anyone wanting to strengthen their Bible study habits. Whether you are completely new to the Bible or a seasoned reader, this book provides practical tools to help you dig deeper into Scripture.
What sets it apart is the way it moves beyond simply giving information—it equips you with a method. The interactive layout makes it easy to follow, and the step-by-step approach helps break down complex concepts into something approachable and doable.
I especially appreciate that it’s not just a book you read once, but a guide you can return to again and again. Packed with resources, ideas, and encouragement, it’s a wonderful way to build confidence in studying the Bible on your own. Highly recommend!

I was thrilled when I requested to review The Easy Bible Study Method that I was sent a copy of the book.
Before diving into the content of the book, I want to make a quick observation on the book itself. One thing I loved about the book is that not everything is black and white. I loved the use of color throughout the book. However, the content was the best part.
One question that struck me was, "What differences and similarities do we share with the original audience?" (Of whatever passage of Scripture we are reading). Oftentimes, people think the Bible is outdated and doesn't apply to us. In that way, they are only thinking of how different things were in Biblical times. I think looking at the similarities is where we start to make connections and understand more about God and His character.
There are so many things to learn in this book, I don't even know what to focus on. There are options throughout the book to "dig deeper" and challenges to "take action." While the Bible study methods taught are easy, they are not quick. This book will teach you how to dive deeper and learn more, while also recommending additional resources. To actually dive deeper, you must be willing to invest some time.
If you want to take your Bible study to the next level, I highly recommend this book. Thank you to Moody Publishers for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.

I received an advanced copy of this book from Moody Publishers in exchange for an honest review.
This is a really great introduction to solid Bible study! I love that it makes Bible study accessible for a variety of ages (youth through young adult and adulthood). The steps are practical and easy to follow (hence the name) and it was really cool to see actual examples of how the method works in the book. Readers get to try the EASY Bible Study Method for themselves (along with the authors) using passages John 6 and Exodus 16. The book can be used on its own, with a mentor, or in a class setting (which I personally would love to see happen).
I already have people in mind that I plan to share this book with. I've been teaching people how to study the Bible for about 10 years now and this resource is definitely one I will be recommending!
Well done Coffee and Bible Time!

I loved the idea of 2 sisters with their mom collaborating together for this book. The book was easy to read and very relatable. I enjoyed the chapter about Seeking God the most. I found it encouraging to have methods of seeking God in the Bible. Keeping scripture in context seems to be driven in today’s social media, so having ways to connect and see God in the Bible and having application for daily living was appreciated. I also liked the annotated examples of their Bible study. It’s always fun to see how others highlight and take notes. This retired teacher gives this book an A+.

This book. I am so thankful that this has hit the bookstore shelves. And (see my review of No More Boring Bible Study) how I wish we would up the game.
First, the method. This is a fantastic tutorial on how to perform personal Bible study. This should be on the bookshelf of every Christian across the board. If you have never been taught how to actually study the Bible to understand it rightly (1 Tim.) you need this book. And even if you're a relative pro, you still need this book to hand off or disciple someone else who isn't. Fabulous. Instruction, examples, problems and questions to engage and practice. Step-by-step with color examples of annotation, and all the basic doctrinal questions addressed or defined. Really, it's a great resource.
Then there's this: Why do you ask the reader to do the work, then immediately give the answer?! That's insulting and self-defeating. And so typical of the hand-holding we do in women's ministry instead of actually expecting the reader to step up and do the work. Give the answer if you must, but at least make them work for it and put it at the back.
And then there's this: "seeking out", "enter into"... common expressions in the Christian sub-culture and appallingly bad grammar. Besides these redundancies, can we do away with "diving in", "digging deeper" and calling absolute strangers "friend". It diminishes the writers' authority and the readers' intelligence, besides being clichéd, condescending, and presumptuous.
As I remarked about the previous book (see above), these women strike me as intelligent and competent, but that's really easy to miss as you wade through the cultural jargon and the amateurish writing. And again, I blame the publishers. Where is the editor?! When I pick up a book with a Moody Publisher logo, my default expectation is "academic". This is not that. As valuable as it is in the marketplace, it's been diminished by its presentation. There is no reason any man looking for a good study method shouldn't pick up this book and hit pay dirt, but because of the fluff and overly familiar language, they won't. That means EASY will be stuck in the Women's and Youth category (as if they are the same - women... doesn't that bother you??) and the men of the church will likely miss out. And that is a real shame.

This book has it all. It sets the scene for beginning Bible readers, telling you all of the basics so you feel confident even to just start. But more than that- they go deep. They don't just skim over the surface in hopes to appeal to masses, they give the reader the courage to go farther than they could have on their own.
It is easy because they give you structure for Bible study- something that helps you know what to do when you go into ANY Bible passage. This would be an amazing book to go through in a church Bible study, small group, or 1-1 mentor relationship. It has good reflection questions at the end of every chapter to help facilitate a larger discussion. Its time we really start to dig deep into Bible study, and this tool will help the beginners and seasoned believers do it!

A very practical way to dig into the Bible. Provides a method that can be applied to any section of scripture for a well rounded study. The explanation and examples given were so helpful in understanding and I loved the option to “dig deeper” for times when you really want to soak in the passage for a long stretch. Easy enough to be applied to in a 15 minute study or in a 3 hour study. Loved this book and would highly recommend to any Christian! Perfect for new believers who need a starting point or for anyone who wants to change things up to see Gods Word in a new way.

I've been a subsciber of the Coffee and Bible Time YT ladies for awhile and knew this book would be great, much like their videos.
The study method outlined here can be used by any Christian (I'm Catholic). It's basically the Inductive Bible Study method, but explained clearly that anyone can do it!
I do have the e-book version of this book, but I highly would suggest you buy the paperback if possible, as it's basically a workbook as well where you have space to annotate, underline, and answer questions.

This book on studying the bible was surprisingly good. I thought, "can we really have another book on how to study the bible?" I have read quite a few and this one is unique in that it shows you a study method and then has you work through bible passages to help you put it into practice as you go along. I would definitely recommend this book to someone just getting started studying the bible - it's easy to read, easy to understand and easy to put into practice!

This book is very helpful for learning how to dig into God's word in a meaningful way. I read it digitally, which was not ideal. I had to print out any pages provided for practicing the method. I did enjoy the book, though, and found it to be very helpful!

5 stars. I can’t get enough of Coffee and Bible Time. These ladies are amazing.
