An excellent book! I highly recommend this book to any person who wants to become more serious and consistent about trading the word of God. It will now be the Firdt book I recommend to members in the subject.

Reading the Bible is one of the most neglected spiritual disciplines in our day. Well-intentioned people set the Word of God aside for a multitude of reasons, none of which are valid excuses. How to Eat Your Bible by Nate Pickowicz provides a biblical corrective as well as a prescription for moving forward in a way that promotes spiritual health and vitality.
One of the great strengths of this book is its simplicity. It reads like a first-year Bible College text books for students needing some basic encouragement. Pickowicz begins by challenging readers to affirm the great worth of the Bible. Appealing to the Reformed principle of sola Scriptura, he urges readers to see that God’s Word is profitable for teaching, reproof, correction, and training in righteousness (2 Tim. 3:16). But he also shows how the Bible radically changes God’s people when they read it, study it, meditate upon it, and memorize it. It changes our minds, spirits, emotions, and wills. Indeed, as Pickowicz writes, “The Word of God is sufficient to minister to every part of our condition and has the power to transform us in all the way of godliness.” The conclusion: The people of God should hunger and thirst for Scripture.
The author also adds some basic exegetical and hermeneutical help that will serve readers well as they dig into Scripture. With that, he introduces the seven-year Bible study method. This approach is distinct from the typical strategy that encourages Bible readers to move from Genesis to Revelation in a year’s time.
Pickowicz presents a strategy that he developed (inspired by John MacArthur’s method). The strategy involves reading books of the Bible multiple times with an eye on detail and a motive for understanding and transformation.
How to Eat Your Bible should be required reading for every new Christian. But people who have been walking with God for some time will receive benefit from this excellent volume as well. In the end, the author is pleading for people to open their Bibles and be revolutionized. How to Eat Your Bible is just what the doctor ordered!

I borrowed this book from my 12-year-old niece. She hates reading and hasn’t touched it. I understand that. If you struggle to read anything that could possibly tempt you to read a book about reading another book? After reading this, I would say because it introduces us to what the Bible claims for itself, what it claims about God. It was a good reminder that any reading plan is worthless if we forget why we are reading. It is to know God and His desire for our lives. But it doesn’t start there. It starts by sympathizing with and identifying the struggles most people have starting and keeping to any system of Bible study.
Then it explains the basics of Bible study. Having been a reader in Christian circles for some years, I’ve seen plenty of, and have been guilty of, poorly interpreted and applied or even completely misapplied a verse. This book sets a good foundation for anyone struggling with how to correctly handle God’s Word. Maybe you didn’t even know that there were right and wrong ways to read and understand it.
The end is the author’s own version of a seven-year Bible reading schedule designed to really make the Bible familiar to the believer. He doesn’t give it as a solid must-do schedule, but more as a sample to use in developing your own plan. He certainly gave me some ideas that I’m considering.
So, I fully recommend it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone struggling to start personal devotions and study. It even has some good reminders or pointers for more believers who have spent years reading the Bible.

First sentence from the introduction: I’m writing this book to myself. Well, actually, it’s for you, but I can’t help wondering whether you and I may have had a similar experience.
This short little book focuses on the Word of God. Why should Christians read the Bible? How often should Christians read the Bible? How should Christians approach Bible reading? What steps are necessary or important? (Namely prayer and actually doing it.)
The reader Pickowicz has in mind is a reluctant reader who feels slightly bad about approaching the Word of God reluctantly and inconsistently. This reader is essentially unfamiliar with the Word of God and lacks desire to be fed by the Word of God.
I believe his goal is to get that reluctant, inconsistent reader to get excited and prayerful about actually reading the Word of God and living by it. He encourages the reader often to pray, pray, pray, pray. Pray for God to place the desire within your heart. Pray for God to open your eyes, your heart, your mind. Pray for God to transform you through the reading of the Word. Pray for God to use your time in the Word beneficially. Pray against temptations that distract and negate.
He specifically is encouraging readers to take a different approach to reading the Bible. Instead of encouraging readers to read through the Bible in a year or two or three in its entirety. He is encouraging his reluctant, inconsistent readers to approach Bible reading the John MacArthur way. That is to read each book of the New Testament through thirty times in a row. Shorter books get a month. Longer books are broken into sections and tackled over multiple months. (For example, three months for the book of Romans.) He deviates from MacArthur's advice to read through the Old Testament once each year. He instead feels that readers should commit to reading each book through fifteen times in a row. (Half of what he encourages for the New Testament.) Again shorter books are given their own time. But longer books are broken into segments. One clarification: MacArthur emphasizes 30 days--roughly a month. Pickowicz emphasizes thirty readings. So if you wanted to read Galatians once in the morning and once in the evening--one could finish it in fifteen days instead of thirty. It is the number of times through a book that matters to Pickowicz.
So he's devised--loosely somewhat--a seven year Bible reading plan.
My thoughts...I do have them! Let's see. I like the idea of including the Old Testament in this in-depth study. I myself have done this with Psalms. I read 30 days of book one of Psalms, 30 days of book two of Psalms, 30 days of book three of Psalms, 30 days of book four of Psalms, 30 days of book five of Psalms. It was incredible, wonderful, nourishing. I highly recommend it if you get the chance. There are other books I'd love to approach this way. (Though notably not Proverbs. But Isaiah 40-66 comes to mind!)
But. I am not Pickowicz's envisioned reader. I am not reluctant to read the Bible. Nor am I reluctant to read in general. You don't have to really do much to get me to set aside time to read. Being completely honest, I am not inconsistent now. Though the me of twenty years ago was inconsistent--very. I was either all hot or all cold.
I am slightly unsure how someone completely and totally new to the Bible--who doesn't really have an idea of the big picture or how the narrative fits together or how books relate to one another or a foundational grounding of key essential doctrines of the faith--would handle being thrown right into possibly one of the hardest ways (but most thorough and no-nonsense) to get to know the Bible. 30 days or 30 readings of the same book. He encourages reading the whole New Testament first. Is this perhaps disconnecting the New Testament from the Old Testament a little too much at the beginning of the program??? Maybe. Maybe not. I can't imagine reading Hebrews for 30 or 60 or even 90 days without ever having read the Old Testament. The New Testament is built on the Old.
I love the idea of people actually reading the New Testament books that intensely and frequently. But I am leaning more towards MacArthur's the Old Testament needs to be being read throughout the year too. (Just like I would encourage readers who actually implement Picowicz's plan to read through the New Testament each year that they study the Old Testament books.) I can't imagine going four years without reading the New Testament!!! (Nor can I imagine going three years without reading the Old Testament.)
Note: Moody net-galley arcs lately have made a puzzle for early readers. Often "th" and "fi" are missing from words--whether at the beginning, middle, or end of a word. This can be disconcerting at first, I admit. But then it becomes a bit of a game. (There might be other combinations of letters that have been systematically deleted from words, but "th" and "fi" are the two that come to mind. I think "ff" too. So instead of God being infinite he is innite. I am not counting off stars for this. I would hope this technical glitch is fixed long before the book is printed on paper.

Another solid look at how to love and study your Bible. I appreciated the author’s tone in that he didn’t care for the read the Bible in a year plan and instead suggested a read the Bible in seven year plan. Which honestly made a lot of sense to me. Granted the author himself said he took longer than seven years, but the concept is sound and one I will introduce to my church in the coming year. Good

Very good, especially for new believers.
I love the reading plan he lays out, BUT I love this one much more:

I give this book a 4.5. I started this book and couldn’t put it down. I had been frustrated in my Bible reading for a couple months and this book was so timely for me.
It was vigorously God centered and immensely practical. I left reading this book with a deeper love for God and a stronger desire to read his word. Please read!
#1 takeaway: Nick advocates for a 7 year Bible reading plan instead of a yearly plan. His reasoning is that most people don’t slow down to really understand deeply what the Bible says. I will be adopting this slower approach to try and really dig deep into the meaning and application of the word of God

So this book is a very good guide for the beginners in reading the Bible , is a very generalized book and personally for me it did not work because many things I knew so yeah if you are at your start in walking with God and want to know and fulfill His Word this book is for you 😊

This is a fantastic primer to reading the Bible and will be my "go to" for anyone not knowing where to start with studying God's Word. Pickowicz writes in a very easy-to-understand way, but doesn't shy away from using important terms and educating the reader on the basics of interpreting and studying scripture.
The big idea that I will take away from this book is that reading the Bible in a year, while not necessarily a bad goal, often does not bear much fruit because of the speed at which one must read. I have found this to be true personally as well, so when he suggested a 7 year reading plan I was intrigued. He made a great case for slowing down and really digesting each book at the pace of about 1 book a month (30 reads through the whole book) to really meditate, mark up, memorize, ask questions about the text, and then move on. I believe this will be much more fruitful than my current 1 year reading plan and I am ready to shift to a version of it for the next 6 years (2024-2030) (I condensed his plan a bit).
I can't wait to dive into the feast!

A great, short resource with practical tips for consistently approaching God’s word. I wish I had read this in college. Would be awesome for youth group or Young Life.

A concise introduction to the crucial discipline of reading Scripture for a biblically illiterate culture. Those who read this short book will discover ample motivation and methodology to develop a reading plan that will expand their knowledge and enhance their spiritual growth. Every sentence is saturated with the ardent conviction that the Bible has the power and ability to bring real transformation.

I really value short books that are helpful- and this book is that. Do you want to know why your daily Bible reading is vital to life and how to do it? This book answers it in just over 100 pages. I will pass this book on to others. It teaches proper exegesis in simple ways for all people.
My only pushback is how much it pushes this 7 year Bible plan. I think it’s a great plan! But for a new Christian, that’s potentially overwhelming. Especially if you are to read 3-4 chapters a day to do it- many do not do that.

I really love the idea of the 7 year Bible plan and reading a book of the Bible 15-30 times in 30 days in order to really get a good grasp on God’s word. Great book to pass along to my teens.
May 18, 2023
Highly recommend— it is simple, straightforward, and practical. The knowledge shared is so incredibly useful as a tool to study the Bible more effectively and “for keeps,” as the author says.
July 3, 2025
A great book on learning the importance of diving into the word of God
June 9, 2024
This is probably the best “where do I start?” book when approaching what it means to read, study, and apply the Bible. Not a challenging read at all. A very encouraging read with a great premise of chewing on and digesting the word of God in a reasonable amount and scheduled manner. I would probably suggest this book first before any other book. The right principles are present and the method is clear. Perfect for personal development or a Bible study course.
February 20, 2024
I think every Christian should read this book. If you want to know God, you have to read your Bible and actually know what’s inside its pages. This book is an awesome resource on how to study your Bible - highly recommend!!
My husband and I both read it and now we’re working on creating our own 7 year reading plan!

This book explained a great approach to reading, understanding, desiring, interpreting, and enjoying reading Gods word. I recommend this to anyone who is wanting to dive deeper into study and wants to understand their Bible better.

How to Eat Your Bible was written to encourage Christians to get into the Word to combat the Bible illiteracy so prevalent today. Reading the Bible daily changes your mind, spirit, emotions and will for the better. Nate Pickowicz wants Christians to love the Word of God like Jeremiah who lived amidst people who had no regard for God. Sound like a familiar situation?
“Your words were found and I ate them, And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16
This short guide tells you how to read, study, and use what you learn in the Bible. It is based on How to Study the Bible from John MacArthur’s study Bible, however it expands on it quite a bit.
This guide is similar to Jen Wilkin’s Women of the Word in that it is essentially the same prescription (dos and don’ts), but the process differs. I prefer this one, but they are both good resources.
This guide suggests a seven-year reading plan in which you read a book of the Bible 15-30 times before moving on to the next book. I am intrigued and am going to try the idea out.
The one minor thing that was a little awkward is the guide is exclusively directed to the reluctant Bible reader. So, if you are looking for a refresher on how to study the Bible, every time the author addresses the reader you will have to remember this is primarily written for Christians who don’t read their Bibles.
That said, this a great resource for young and old no matter how often you currently read your Bible.

Audible book. Two listens. Love this book great tips and discussion on reading the Bible. The book encourages the reader to not be in as big of a hurry to read. The Bible is made to read, review and remember. To read and absorb is the the plan.
January 9, 2021
3.5 - This book has a really good premise, and I had several meaningful takeaways. I can tell the author treasures the Bible and desires for his readers to treasure it, too. That’s such an important message. I’m very interested in his 7 year Bible plan concept because I’ve found that method of study to be very beneficial. However, the chapters on observation, interpretation, and application seemed to be written to an audience that was brand new to Bible study. I would have liked some more in depth insights, but I don’t think that was the purpose of this book.

This book is so full of wisdom it relit the spark inside me to read my Bible with joy instead of a giant overwhelming hassle that had to be completed once a day for a few mins it has a great study plan that has encouraged me to read my Bible for a longer amount with understanding and happiness

This was such a refreshing read and great reminder of the basics of studying the Bible....concepts I learned years ago in bible school. The author writes humbly, and his love for the Word of God comes through in each page.
He also advocates for a 7 year Bible reading plan, which I found an interesting concept. His plan would have you to read each New Testament book 30 times in a row and Old Testament book 15 times in a row. This would really immerse you in the same book for multiple reads over long periods of time, so you would really learn the book, themes, concepts, and context of each book really well.
This book was not about his Bible reading plan, but that was in there almost as a bonus. The book just really teaches the basics of reading your Bible, understanding context, how to interpret passages correctly, how to apply etc.

“If the word of God is inspired and inerrant, it is also authoritative – it has the right to tell you how to live. The ultimate exercise entails applying the scripture to one’s own life by finding the correct spiritual principle for the situation. In the end, there are things that God wants you to know and things he wants you to do. All of it, however, is meant to draw you closer to him, as you grow as a Christian, and glorify him as God.”
“ The word of God is sufficient to minister to every part of our condition and has the power to transform us in all the ways of godliness. Furthermore, it has the power to change your spirit, mind, emotions, and will.”

Big fan of this book. Short, concise, practical, it makes its point very clear (that being to read your Bible more frequently and more deeply) with good reasoning and gives practical and tangible steps the average person can apply to their lives. This advocates pretty hard for a seven year reading plan and based on how this plan is outlined, I think it’s worth doing. But, even if you don’t want to do a seven year Bible reading plan (which… why wouldn’t you) then it’s still worth reading because all the practicality of this book could be applied to building a better one year reading habit or just basic daily devotional habits.

A truly fantastic primer for Christians who want to grow in the understanding of the Word of God. Not only does Nate layout the how-to in easy to understand terms, but he lays out the why as well. Too often, Christians forget that the Bible is more than a mere textbook. It is God’s purposeful and loving revelation to His people. Nate takes time to share this with the reader to help them to love and desire to understand the Word of God. A must-read for Christians at all levels.

I really looked forward to getting my hands on this book. It was highly recommended in the social media circles where I roam, and it exceeded expectations, which is a rare feat. Nate Pickowicz comes across as a man who is very much in touch with his Bible and presents it as a book that not only can be, but is loveable. The book builds up to the seven-year Bible plan and I, for one, look forward to going through with the plan.

The right reading plan for the Bible must start with Sola Scriptura, that the bible is our chief, supreme, ultimate authority and sufficient for all our spiritual needs. We must learn the Word and learn to love the Word. This is the foundation for this book.
April 12, 2024
A great practical book for anyone who wants to study Scripture and start a Bible reading plan or for someone who wants to dig deeper into God’s Word with the author’s 7-year reading plan. I recommend gifting this book with a Bible.
