[Alex · Rating 4 out of 5]

Only quasi read this. I ordered it, waited 15 minutes, grew frustrated Amazon delivery was taking so long, then decided to design my own Bible study curriculum. (Which I may end up publishing cuz I like it so much.) By the time this arrived in the mail a week later, I was well on my way.

But this 445 page beauty seems to be really thorough. If impatience hadn't prevailed, I could have had a lot of fun with it.

I'm going to take my time through this one--reading it slowly before my times with the Lord, starting today! I'm skipping the first chapter, titled "How the Bible Came To Us" unless I want to use pieces of it for reference later on and I'm going straight to the second chapter, titled "Preparing To Study the Bible: It's Story and World."
