    About this audiobook

    For every person who draws strength and direction from the Bible, there are many more who struggle with it. Some call it a long book with fine print and obscure meaning. Some call it a mystery, a chore to read, or an undecipherable puzzle.

    The good news is you can easily solve this problem. With over 300,000 sold, this revised and expanded edition of Living by the Book will remove the barriers that keep Scripture from transforming your life. In a simple, step-by-step fashion, the authors explain how to glean truth from Scripture. It is practical, readable, and applicable. By following its easy-to-apply principles, you'll soon find yourself drawing great nourishment from the Word—and enjoying the process! The Living by the Book Workbook is the perfect compliment to provide practical application of lessons.

      The Bible Is Not Open To Personal Interpretation

      What a beautiful scripture above – this is a solid motivation to meditate on God’s Word. Yet, believe it or not, there are some Christians who deem this Scripture to be an ‘arrogant’ or ‘self-righteous’ declaration. I am so grateful that I’ve had str

      Comprehensive, but easy to follow, and understand. it’s not only informative it is also entertaining. If you want to go beyond merely reading the Bible this book tells you everything you need to know and shows you how to use it.

      Hendricks adds his charm and teaching style into providing a well rounded approach to not just studying The Bible, but could also apply to studying anything. However, the book has specific application to The Bible. Broken into three sections, Hendricks focuses your attention on what to read, how to read, and how to apply what you read. This is a good book for any young Christian or young person who is starting to take their Bible reading to a deeper level. If you are well established in the faith and set up for yourself a useful and godly Bible study, you should skip this book. Although if you need a refresher or just love reading Hendrick (ooo ooo that's me! that's me!) then pick this up. A good foundational book for the Ultimate Foundation for your life. Final Grade - B

      Rated: AHoward Hendrick is such a wise sage package in simple language. This book is a masterpiece. It tells us how to read the Bible, to better understand and appreciate God's Word. If you ever want to learn about how to take a deeper dive into Scriptures, this book is the best roadmap.
    • 5/5
      Very helpful and informative. Great tool for help in following rules for biblical interpretation.
    • 5/5
      This book is part of my collection that really focuses in on Biblical Commentary more than anything else (including some well known authors in the theological world). All of these books haven't been read cover to cover, but I've spent a lot of time with them and they've been helpful in guiding me through difficult passages (or if I desire to dig deeper).
    • 4/5
      A very detailed book on studying the bible great info.
    • 5/5
      Hendricks writes both for the theologian and the novice Bible reader. He's clear, simple, and profoundly helpful in understanding how to appropriately read the Bible in the context of its original audience and meaning. This book was required reading for my seminary courses and, thus, I assumed it would be lofty in its presentation. However, Hendricks has a knack for making what would otherwise be complex ideas quite simple and accessible to every reader, regardless of age, background, or education. I highly recommend this book both for the avid studier of the Bible and for the curious lay reader of the Bible.
    • 5/5
      I went through this book with my girlfriend and we both benefited a lot from it. This is an excellent intro. to Bible study methods and hermeneutics book. One point Hendricks reiterates time and time again is that the Word of God was written not to learn about, but to change your life! This is an excellent overview of Bible study and would be extremely beneficial to people just starting out.
