Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds by Jen Wilkin
5.0
I had never read anything by Jen Wilkin before this book, but the audio was on sale so I thought I'd give her a try. I have to admit, I approach a lot of Christian women authors skeptically these days - I have been disappointed so often with a lot of "fluff", sometimes even unscriptural fluff. But I was so pleasantly surprised by this book! If you are wanting to learn how to get more out of your Bible study, grab this book asap!
In Women Of The Word, Wilkin presents a very practical method of personal Bible study, which she calls "the five p's". What struck me as I listened to this book was how concerned Wilkin is for interpreting the Bible soundly and faithfully. I appreciated the tips she gave for how to do this, and also how to avoid interpretation pitfalls.
I am kind of regretting that I only purchased the audio of this book, because I'd really love to have a physical copy for notes and reference! I have been struggling recently with how to dig deeper into God's word on my own, and I thought Wilkin really offered some solid direction for how to get more out of my personal Bible study time. Listening to this book made me excited to dive into my quiet time, and a physical copy of the book is now on my to-buy list! Highly recommend!
