DESCRIPTION

If a hungry man is sitting by a river with a fishing pole, what do you do? Catch fish for him and feed him, or teach him how to fish? Teaching him how to fish would be of much more benefit to him in the long run. That is the purpose of this book. Rather than just feed people with biblical insight, Rick Warren wants to teach people how to study the Bible on their own, so they can experience the joy that comes from personal Bible study.

The main reason why people don’t study the Bible is that they don’t know how. This is a how-to book on studying the Bible. Rick gives 12 different personal study methods including:

  • Devotional
  • Biographical
  • Book Survey
  • Chapter Summary
  • Topical
  • Chapter Analysis
  • Chapter Quality
  • Word Study
  • Book Synthesis
  • Thematic
  • Book Background
  • Verse Analysis

Digging out the riches of the Bible requires effort, but each chapter is organized into a simple format. There is a condensed outline of each method, to gain an overview of the method. There is a short definition of the method. There is a rationale for each method, acquainting you with the benefits and limitations of it. There is a step-by-step procedure for and example of each method. Finally, there are suggested passages to get you started on your own study.

The ultimate goal of this book is not just knowledge, but application. The ultimate goal is to become more like Jesus. “Do not merely listen to the Word and so deceive yourselves, do what it says.” James 1:22
