But Bible studyis one of those non-negotiable spiritual disciplines we need in our lifeto properly grow spiritually.As for me, I put my own little twist on "Bible study." It's like beinga detective, searching for clues, coming to the right conclusions, andthen acting on what I learned. Like everyone else, I love trying to solvemysteries, and let's be honest, the Bible is somewhat of a mystery, evento those who have "studied" it for years.There are many good books out there demonstrating how to interpretand understand the Bible. Some go very deep in their explanations,while others stay closer to the surface. This book is designed to keepthings simple, to give you a framework for how to understand theBible.
