Overview

As Christians, we all want to study the Bible better, but it’s easy to get lost in the details. In reading the many books, topics, and stories in Scripture, we often miss lessons like:

  1. What is the context of this passage?
  2. How does it fit within God’s overall plan for humanity?
  3. What is God is trying to teach me?
  4. How do I take what I’ve read and apply it to my life?

New approaches to Scripture study can help us discover new lessons we’ve never seen before. Whether you’re new to studying the Bible or your Scripture studies have become stale, use these books to help you reenergize your study of God’s Word.
