Learn to Study the Bible: A Book Review

Posted: 24 Sep 2009 09:43 AM PDT

Let me ask you these simple questions:

Has studying the Bible become somewhat of a bore for you?
Are you finding yourself simply "going through the motions" when it comes to studying God's Word?
Have you tried several methods of studying the Bible, yet they leave you feeling overwhelmed? Confused?

If you have answered "yes" to any of the above questions, have I got a wonderful treat for you!

Learn to Study the Bible is a beautiful, exciting, original and enjoyable Bible study book written by Pastor Andy Deane. This 248 page book contains 40 step by step methods (yes 40) to help you discover, apply and enjoy God's Word in a whole new way. Some of the methods are "Daily Bread, SPECS ON, Alphabet Method, Verse-by-Verse Charting, Twenty Jesus Questions, Royal Wisdom, and Meeting Jesus (got your curiosity peaked?).

You will no longer study the Bible using the "same old routine" again.

The author, Pastor Andy Deane, is the associate pastor at Calvary Chapel Old Bridge in central New Jersey. He wrote the book after a failed attempt in teaching a group of junior high students a "few basic study principles that would help them dig into the Word on a daily basis"which he perceived as a "fairly simply task". To his horror, instead of the kids being "excited" about studying God's Word, they were confused and uninterested. He says, "this was the scariest moment I've ever experienced as a youth pastor." (By the way, there are study methods for teenagers in this book as well. Some methods are, "Heart Monitor, Weather Report and Climb the Ladder" (Cool titles huh?).

FYI, my teens love studying the Bible more than ever now! Thank you Pastor Deane)!

Thus, Learn to Study the Bible was conceived.

I am so glad he wrote this book! I have purchased many, "How to Study the Bible, How to Study God's Word" books and the majority of them are collecting dust on my bookshelf. AWWWW! but then I received Learn to Study the Bible and I HAVE NOT PUT IT DOWN! I am using the "Daily Bread Method" and I absolutely love it! It makes me see God, His Word and His promises in a whole new light!

So, you say that you have been reading the Bible for many years. Well, there is a method in the book for you. There are methods for beginners, intermediate and advanced Bible readers. I promise you will not be disappointed when you get this book!

What I love most about Pastor Deane's book is his extensive explanation of the study and then following his explanation there are HAND WRITTEN EXAMPLES of the method! How cool is that!

Oh I tell you, this book is AWESOME!!!!!!!!
