Concise, efficient, Biblical, and practical. This is an excellent guide to studying and applying your Bible. Highly recommend for anyone seeking to start or renew their journey into God's Word. Even if you've been studying God's Word for years I still recommend this book for the practical snippets of wisdom that Estes has somehow managed to densely pack into such a small book.

Ever feel like you're wandering around in circles trying to study the Bible? Or perhaps you want to become a better teacher or preacher of God's Word. Perhaps you want to deepen your personal study of Scripture. In any case, this book is a clear and concise read on how to properly study the Bible and teach it. I highly recommend!

A great method of Bible study; it focuses on observations leading to the "big picture" or idea of a section that the reader than has to decide on the applications for this idea.

What I liked about this method is it can take a long or a short amount of time, depending on how much you have, and can be as detailed a study as you want (even breaking down passages into the original languages if the reader has the time). Honestly, this method could be applied to any book you want to study and helps you realize how people could read the same words and come away with very different meanings. (Though Dr. Estes is careful to mention not all of these "readings" are correct, and guides readers to making wise choices about how they "read" passages.)

A good resource for anyone wanting a better study method and fairly easy to apply; best audience would probably be mid-teen and up. As it is a short read (10 chapters, 76 pages total), could be a good Bible study group book.

No content issues.
