Quick read, helps simplify bible study in a way that any believer can easily implement. Definitely recommend for those looking for something to help deepen their bible study without having to purchase another trendy study.

A very well written and concise introduction to what Bible study looks like and how it is different from Bible reading. Wonderful encouragement especially for new believers to familiarise with close examination of God’s Word for spiritual growth, for drawing closer to God, for a deeper understanding of Bible and how it transforms hearts and minds for daily life and eternity. There’s a useful chapter on blessings of Bible study to whet the appetite for nourishment in riches of God’s words. For those who don’t know where to start with studying Bible, there is a definite plan on what, where, when, how often, how long to study Bible. The book builds on the foundations of study with helpful insights on context, various genres and big picture of Bible and some practical steps like inductive Bible study method to start and continue Bible study. There are helpful questions at the end of each chapter for small groups and a wonderful list of resources towards the end for further study but perhaps a bit too much endorsement for ESV study Bible.

Simple. Clear. Perfect for those wanting to know where to start. Was given this book by publisher for honest review

I was a little disappointed in this booklet, but it’s my fault for not looking at its length when I preordered it. It’s very short (56 pages). If you’ve ever opened your Bible and studied it at all, or if you’ve ever read anything about why and how we study a book of the Bible, you may find, like me, that there’s really nothing new in this booklet. It’s very basic. If you’re a brand new disciple of Christ, this might be helpful as a starting point for studying the Word.

This little booklet is short and sweet! Great for beginners to Bible study and new Christians or seasoned believers who have hit a dry patch in their Bible study and need a reminder on how and why we study God’s Word.

Excellent! This will be my new go-to recommendation for how to study the Bible. It’s a short read and accessible no matter where you are in your walk.
