Best when combined with the accompanying work book to practice what you learn in each chapter, which I didn't learn until about half-way through. Super helpful guide to break down the basics of independent Bible study for both personal growth as well as to be equipped to teach it to others.

I enjoyed this "textbook" on how to get the most out of reading and studying the Bible. The author, Howard Hendricks takes a very practical and methodical approach to Bible study and this matches up well to my personality. Although the bulk of the book is concerned with the observation and interpretation stages of study, the author makes it clear that the application stage is the most important and also the most difficult to implement. Again, this is another book I wish I was aware of earlier in my life and is a must read for anyone seeking to grow in their relationship with Christ.
