This past year, I purchased the How to Study Your Bible by Kay Arthur, David Arthur and Pete De Lacy, along with the workbook for it.
This book shares how to study your Bible using the Inductive Study Method. I have not researched or reviewed this technique, but I have to admit, it sounds pretty cool.
Even if I don't adopt the entire study method, I could incorporate what I liked into what I do now. Who doesn't like new and exciting study methods?
I plan to kick off this year with this study and bringing my YouTube Family along for the journey. So, I will update you, both here and on the YT of what I have learned. By now, I have already mentioned it on my channel, giving you a little time to the purchase books if need be or schedule some time to follow me along on this journey.
I look forward to your feedback, tips and comments if you practice this method of study.
Until next time,
Be blessed,
Hey Y'all!!!
Generally, I choose which books I will read for the next month during the last week of the current month. But this year, I can take some of the guess work out of what I will be reading. How? Easy peesy, Nay, over on DOI, has created a Christian based reading challenge for anyone who would like to participate. It's for those who desire to be more intentional in their reading to expand their faith.
She listed 52 prompts to help you choose books that will edify your spirit. These books can be anything from biblical fiction to non-fiction, fantasy to contemporary. All the books should be Christian and/or faith based books. One of the perks to this challenge is that one book can accomplish multiple prompts, so don't be afraid to branch out of your comfort zone.
Here is a link to her blog post, where she gives all of the details pertaining to her challenge and how to print out the reading prompts.
I plan on taking this challenge, but will only commit to 26 books. I will be doing the following prompts:
1. A book about prayer
2. A book about forgiveness
4. A Bible study workbook
5. A 2020 release
6. A middle grade Christian book
8. A devotional
9. A young adult Christian book
10. A book that was turned into a movie/tv show
