The best BIBLE devotional that I have EVER found!

I have been a born again believer now for over 22 years, and have continually failed to maintain a consistent, daily walk with Christ through reading the Bible..I was fine with joining Bible studies, or just hearing the Word on Sunday mornings, but have always struggled by finding anything that was relevant and easy to understand on a daily basis.....until this book. This book will change my life by allowing me to DAILY read the scripture and applying its truths to my life! This guide is simple..it allows you to go through the ENTIRE Bible in three years...each day is only 10-20 verses and only asks 2-3 RELEVANT, meaningful questions. Each study can be done in as little as 30 minutes, but you go away feeling like you have really understood the passage and can now apply it to you life. Believe me, it is worth every penny....you will reap so many rewards by just spending this DAILY, PERSONAL time with Jesus!

This Book has blessed my life considerably

I taught Sunday School for many years to an adult class. I never really did any kind of systematic study in preparation. I taught in faith that the Holy Spirit would work through all of us in the class, and that He would teach us. I never felt that I had a handle on the "Big Picture" of God's Word. When I purchased Search the Scriptures, I found what I needed. It divides the Bible up into small study portions that can be handled in about 30 minutes to an hour. The questions can be easily answered, but at the same time were challenging. Most of the time scripture references within the question helped in finding an answer. The best part was how the questions forced me to look at my own life, and my relationship with God. I am a reflective man with much on my mind. I found this approach to be an opportunity to write back to myself about the issues and concerns of my life. I completed the study with 1,025 pages of work printed out, including the questions. This is my gift to my children. I am revising the work by adding intoductions to all 66 books, and it is a joy to re-read what I wrote and augment it with commentaries from other sources. I highly recommend Search the Scriptures.

Best I've Ever Used

This is the best devotional aid I've ever found. You can spend the suggested 20 minutes per day reading the passage and answering the questions, or you can use the questions as a starting point to probe deeper into the meaning and message of Scripture. This book ranks as one of the best kept secrets in Christian publishing.

An Excellent Way to Learn

I have gone through this study of the Bible once already, and I am going to go through it again. This has been the most important book I have ever owned next to the Bible itself. It taught me how to read and understand the Word of God for myself and helped to gain a feel for the "whole counsel" of God rather than just focusing one specific sections. If you want a good grasp on God's Word and by the Word a great introduction to God Himself and His Son, this book will help you along the way.
