Jesus said that the Bible contains new treasure as well as old. Why then do so few Christians study it? Is it too difficult to understand or is it the way it is taught? Does the Bible have a middle-management problem? Haverim provides a new method for experiencing the Word of God. It fulfills the needs of a society who wants to pull information rather than have it pushed upon them. By researching the rabbinic method of education, Paul Clayton Gibbs developed a four-step template that equips you to study anything with anyone! In this updated edition, you will learn how to explore the many facets of Scripture with those of no faith, little faith, or even another faith. Haverim also provides a practical way to create home groups that are inclusive rather than exclusive. It is a tool for friends who want to study together in order to know God and make Him known. Or as the ancient Hebrews once referred to them . . . Haverim.

I like this book as I struggle to study the Bible. I also found parts of this book very confusing, so I am going to do an indepth study of this book so I can have a better understanding and apply the methods used in this book.
