I'm disappointed with the material Warren has presented here. While he has some good tips on Bible study, they are too varied and could leave the average reader confused. I can only give two stars for the lack of simplicity. Each chapter could be a booklet by itself. I also don't favor his implication that all modern translations are equally useful in doing serious Bible study. Nothing could be further from the truth.Simply put, Warren can do much, much better. For anyone looking for a book on studying the Bible, pass on this one. Look instead to Kay Arthur's "How to Study Your Bible."
