    About this ebook


    A Bible Study Plan for the Busiest Mom!

    The Busy Mom's Guide to Bible Study is an amazing Bible study tool specifically aimed at moms. What makes it so remarkable is the way author Lisa Whelchel has packed twenty solid Bible study tools into a five-day-a-week, fifteen-minute-a-day, anybody-can-do-it plan.

    Not only is this plan doable, it's satisfying. As a busy mom, you give of yourself all day long - often with no way to refresh and replenish the cravings of your own soul. But this simple three-month, come-along-beside-you guide will take you deep into the Word, nourishing your heart and soul. And in just three months, you will be a changed woman - changed by the power of God's word in you.

      Great introduction to studying the Bible without a guidebook. I highly recommend it to even busy, working mothers as well as to us older folks who have more time. The techniques she introduces (like highlighting, praying Scripture, looking for repeated words, asking the 5 W's and 1 H) are simple, but can form a solid foundation for those wanting to study Scripture without being told what God wants them to learn from it.

    My heart is happy to dedicate this book to three women I love and admire.

    It is a privilege to run alongside each of these sisters on this journey to minister to women and lead them deeper in the living, breathing, healing Word of God.

    Beth Moore

    You have led me into the very throne room of God and taught me how to hear the Father’s heartbeat and breathe deeply at His feet. Your love for the Bible is contagious.

    Priscilla Shirer

    What an incredible friend you are to me, straight from the Giver of every good and perfect gift, and that certainly defines you! It is a joy to pray with you and play with you.

    Angela Thomas

    God has used you to expand my heart and to help me face my fears, love with abandon, and acknowledge my need. I am eternally grateful for my SBFF (Sweet Best Friend Forever).

    Say to wisdom, You are my sister, and call insight your intimate friend.

    Appendix

    Notes

    Steve, Tucker, Haven, and Clancy - I know this book cost you a lot for me to write. I’m sorry I was away so much, not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally. Please forgive me,and thanks for your generous understanding. I know God will honor your sacrifice. I’m praying that when we get to heaven, there will be many moms who thank you personally.

    Philis and Denny Boultinghouse - You have been above and beyond patient. Thank you for your gracious forbearance when I found myself with too many commitments clamoring for my attention at the same time. I know you love me first as a friend and then as an author.

    Cyber Prayer Warriors - You carried my weary, stressed, overwhelmed heart before the Father for so many months. Just knowing you were praying gave me the confidence I needed on many days when I didn’t think I was going to make it. I felt your love and support, and I am eternally grateful.

    Scott Lindsey and Logos Bible Software - I can’t imagine attempting to write this book without this amazing software and the tireless gift of your expertise. Thank you for providing the tool that has taken me deeper into the Word than I ever thought imaginable for a mom with barely a child-actress kind of education.

    Morris Procter - I can’t believe how much help you were able to give me in a handful of phone conversations. How do you know so much and keep it all at the top of your head and on the tip of your tongue? You are a wealth of wisdom and a great friend to have, especially at a time like this.

    Robert J. Morgan - What a privilege to work with you. Thank you for your humble response
