[Douglas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bruce explores seven ways in which people learn. Each of these is explored and two sample Bible studies are given for each type. Overlap can be found in the suggestions for each method. These ways of teaching are intended to enhance one's teaching and not be incorporated into each lesson. This book is easy to understand and follow.
