Verse Mapping Acts: Feasting on the Abundance of God’s Word

by Kristy Cambron

In this six-session video Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), Kristy Cambron guides small groups through the Book of Acts using a technique that revolutionized her time with God known as verse mapping.

Kristy discovered this approach after experiencing a series of valleys—a family cancer diagnosis, grief, and loss—that made her realize she needed a more authentic walk with God. Although she was on the fast track to a rewarding career with a Fortune-100 corporation, had a growing family, and was living out a budding career as a fiction writer, she longed for a way to tap into her creative roots and really dig deep into studying the Bible.

Kristy found the answer in verse mapping, a method of "studying the historical context, transliteration, translation, connotation, and theological framework of a verse in the Bible." Simply put, verse mapping is getting real about studying the Bible. More than just reading a verse, it's about researching everything you can about it to learn more about who God is and how he wants to speak to you through his Word.

In this study, Kristy shares how you can have a verse-mapping journey of your own through the Book of Acts. In each session, she will provide you with practical examples on how

Take the first steps in verse mapping and learn how to explore the Bible like never before
Customize your Bible study time for a deeper and more authentic walk with God

God has provided a feast for you in his Word. He has set the table with an abundance of life nestled between the front and back covers of the Bible. Today is your chance to sit at the place reserved for you and receive all that he has to offer. Whether you have just five minutes today or an hour . . . or whether you are a seminary graduate or are opening your Bible for the first time . . . this is your opportunity to spend some serious time with God.

I did this one with the online group, rather than an in-person group, which I think I would have preferred. I think verse mapping is really neat though, and Cambron lays it out so easily and simply. From the online group, some people were waaaaay overthinking it and making it something more stressful than it should be - and why stress about Bible study?? I think it's just something that is going to change and develop as you do it more. And if it always stays simple, who cares? It's the heart and thought behind it that matters most.

My Bible Study did this study of Acts as we wanted to learn more about verse mapping. We did the study guide and the video. Most of us did not care for this study, but we all would agree we learned something more about Acts and verse mapping. Many of us plan to continue verse mapping on future studies.

This might have made better sense to me if I had the DVD to go with it as I read it, but t does give me a great idea of how to verse map in any book of the Bible.

I do think the dvd series is helpful to show you how to use this method of studying the Bible. The illustrations for each segment are interesting. I am doing another study of Acts this fall with She Reads Truth and I’m interested in seeing how I like this as I go through Acts.

Map reversing taught me a deeper way to study the Bible. Kristy's examples in the videos moved me. The verse mapping workbook was a bit confusing to understand at first but once comprehension rained on I loved it. I now map verse as part of my Bible reading.
