This guide by Kay Arthur is filled to the brim with good advice on how to conduct an inductive Bible study. Arthur defines an inductive study as "using the Bible itself as the primary source of information about the Bible." I've discovered that the steps outlined in this text are easy to incorporate into my daily studies. Prayer, overview, context, who, what, when, where, why, how ... these are all essential steps required before jumping to application and Arthur provides detailed instructions t...more
A wonderful guide to inductive Bible Study. I started Precept Bible study in 1986 and I have never been the same about studying God's Word or my deep desire to know Him and to live in obedience to His Word. Inductive Study showed me how to study and pull out truths myself and not to rely upon what a teacher says or what a Bible writer writes concerning God's Word. No predefined answers to questions as designed in Sunday School, etc. will ever feel right to you again. Precept teaches we must foll...more
At first glance, Kay Arthur's little work seems to be of little import, but, after reading it through, I was impressed by her keen ability to search the Scriptures. If more believers went through the Bible with a pen in hand and completed the exercises that she argues for, they would be confident in their knowledge of Scripture and in the Faith. Nothing in this work is novel, but the writer does a wonderful job driving believers to the Word of Truth. I would recommend this book for any Christian...more

I liked a lot of what she taught. I still have a hard time marking up my Bible though. I use many of the tools she taught during study and then bought one of the Inductive study Bibles and thought that was getting some of the best of both worlds. :o)
Excellent book of Contextual Bible Study. I have used several ideas from this study book in teaching this Study method. Ideas are very clearly presented and easy to put into practice in a private Bible Study and even a group Bible Study.

My rating is a tentative one; I've read the book, but haven't yet put it into practice. The concepts Arthur presents make a great deal of sense, and I look forward to trying the system out.
since i love the precepts method of bible study, i naturally love and need this book. i recommend it to anyone serious about finding what god says to us through his divine word!

Anyone who wants to do some serious Bible study
I have had probably every edition of this book that has been printed. It gives very practical information about how to study your Bible inductively, and how to understand it for yourself. This book teaches a method of Bible study, and one I have been using for years as a student and a leader and a teacher. I believe wholeheartedly in this method, so much so that I have given away about a dozen copies of this book over the years. I have started buying more than one so I can give them away and I e...more
A good read for those who have never taken anytime to learn how to study the Bible. Her steps are simple and easy to apply.
I love inductive Bible studies and love the Precept Upon Precept classes, but this book is not my style of learning.
Practical. I really want to understand the Bible for myself and this is a good first step.

Best book on how to study the Bible
This is a FABULOUS method for learning how to study the bible for yourself, without depending on others. I think it is vitally important that we all know how to go to the word of God and read it and apply it to our lives.I am so tired of hearing "Christian" teachings, that truly are not backed up by the Bible. I love this method of study, and use it daily. Really perfect for those who love to take notes, and use fun colored pencils and mark! The super-nerd in me really loves this.
This book is perfect for learning how to do an in depth bible study! I'm so glad I came across this book. It opened a whole new meaning of what bible study really should be. A great read!
Prepare to get REALLY DEEP. For a busy mom who is trying to work in a bible study into her weekly routine...this is not for you (ER, me?). However if you have lots of time to devote to reading the section again and again, then this is a method to read the bible in, over, and above.
Too intense for me. I find myself loathing my bible study homework which is not the intention of reading the Word.

How to study the Bible inductively. Not much new here. The charts and notes were so complicated that I think I would forget what I read by the time I made all the notes.
I tried to read this for my Bible study, but I just couldn't get into it. Read as much as possible and then gave to someone else. I hope they like it better than I did. For now, I'll just focus on reading The Bible and probably stick with Shepard's Notes.
This is a good one for one who is serious about digging into God's word. I lead a bible study using this book when some of us ladies were between small groups.
Clear and concise instruction for studying the Bible inductively.
