ENDORSEMENTS:

PASTOR BOB COY (Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale)

"Certain things in the Christian life are non-negotiable, and studying the Bible is one of them. Every believer, regardless of the spiritual season they're in, must have a regular routine that gets them engaged in God's Word. But while the "must" to study is universal, the "method" isn't. What works well for some doesn't work at all for others. We've been wired differently and learn in different ways, which is why this is such a relevant and important book. With 40 different methods of studying the Bible, there's something here for everyone. No matter who you are or how you're wired to learn, you're going to find a key in these pages that will unlock the riches of God's Word in your life."

PASTOR BRIAN BRODERSON (Host of the Back to Basics Radio Show)

"Anything that will help Christian people get more into the word and more out of the word is bound to be a great blessing. This book will do just that. Andy has done a fantastic job of laying out numerous options for Bible Study. I'm sure there's a method here that will be helpful for most everyone who is serious about growing in the Lord through his word."
