For those who want to learn what inductive Bible study is, the steps of observation, interpretation, and application, and how to use this book in the study of a Biblical passage or a book of the Bible, I highly recommend The Joy of Discovery.

5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY the Bible makes sense!, January 5, 1999

This review is from: The Joy of Discovery in Bible Study (Paperback)

This is a WONDERFUL, short instructional on a method for studying the Bible. However, the method can be used when you have to study/learn ANYTHING. This book takes the mystery out of the phrase "Bible Study". It's really not that scary!! If you truly want to learn how to absorb the Bible, GET THIS BOOK!

This review is from: The Joy of Discovery in Bible Study (Paperback)

I've been studying the Bible for over 40 years. While in college the professor directed us to The Joy of Discovery. The ability to grasp and discover meaning of scripture and make the application to the here and now is remarkable. I must add, this type of study is time consuming and laboreous. Having said that, the rewards are far greater and your joy is without limits when you make those discoveries.
