This is one of my favorite guide’s for studying the Bible. It reveals the ugly truth about how prone we as women may be to study the Bible with an overly emotional and “me-centered” me mentality, while showing how and why we should study it as God intends. This book is approachable yet meaty. The Five P’s of sound study are especially helpful in gaining Bible Literacy. I also loved the study questions/ reflections at the end. Definitely Using it for help with my daily studying.

why is it that christians feel a need to have an anecdote for every single point. honestly, i don’t care much about your camping trip when you were nine.
i skimmed so much. this is better than the majority of bible study books and booklets i’ve flipped through, that somehow spend 90 pages talking about how to highlight. (which is apparently wrong in this book... do not touch those gold edged pages! ok.)
however, this 158 page book could be about 20. it’s helpful, but proves i am a master skimmer. probably the best skill that college has taught me. haha. getting good use of it.
not to mention the patronizing attitude here. an example is mentioning that one (since our audience here is women) should use an english dictionary, rather than a hebrew-greek lexicon- “you could (use one), if you know what you’re doing. many of us don’t, so an english dictionary can be a great help.” ..... boy. where do i begin.

a great resource for personal Bible study, or discipling others in their Bible study habits. Also, super helpful tips for those teaching or leading a BIble study as well.

A good overview of studying the word and the reminder to start now!

This book was an easy one-day read, yet very practical for use throughout the rest of my life. A must-read for any woman wanting to be shaped by Scripture, not just for a checklist or guilt's sake.
