Josh McDowell's - Guide to understanding the Bible

An Effective Method for Unlocking the Living Truth


(Information from the back cover) 

A Simple and Concise Personal 
Study Method that Can Guide You To 
a Deeper Knowledge of the Bible

Many Christians long for a deeper understanding of the Bible but lack an effective method of study. Others feel that in-depth Bible knowledge requires more time than they can afford. 

In this book, internationally known speaker, author, and Christian apologist Josh McDowell shares his own method of getting into the heart of the Bible--a method  that you can tailor to fit your own schedule. 

He leads you through three simple steps you can apply to all scripture to elicit the deeper understanding you've always wanted.

Step One: How to "See It." A Guide to Observation.
Step Two: How to "Know It." A Guide to Interpretation.
Step Three: How to "Do It." A Guide to Application.


Within each step, McDowell guides you through the use of 
  • charts, 
  • illustrations, and 
  • diagrams, 
giving you a clear picture of what you can accomplish by applying his study methods. 

In addition, he guides you in the selection and use of such study helps as 
  • commentaries, 
  • concordances, 
  • Bible dictionaries, 
  • Bible translations, 
  • computer programs, and 
  • other aids to the Bible study.

Whether you're a 
  • Bible teacher, 
  • a small group leader, 
  • a searcher, or 
  • merely a Christian who wants to dig deeper, 
this book will help you become a more discerning student of Scripture.

God bless you.
