Inside this Bible Study Aid ebook:

"Even though we might possess the world's brightest minds, if God does not act to open our minds, the Bible will remain closed to us."

"One vital key we must come to understand is that the Bible interprets itself. We must be careful not to force our own interpretations onto it."

"For us to understand the Bible, we must first learn about and respect God's law."

Ratings and reviews

If you want to understand the Word of God,which cannot lie,ask Jesus to baptize you in The Holy Spirit. Sin is the problem. The cross is the answer. Nothing here can help you. Beware of false teachings especially ex Armstrongism.

That's good that this company published this help guide for people. Not easy, must be unbiased, true to one's self otherwise it's impossible to, which right and wrong will be manipulated consciously to benefit self. Good book

There's an issue with the download? When I downloaded the app, clicked on read, it did nothing? What am I missing? Perhaps the developer needs to take a look at the settings or provide download instructions. That would help a lot. I wish you well as you do the Lord's work! I started with one start, but when I figured how to scroll from right to left I was able to view the pages. This is a wonderful app. It's truly worth downloading. May I suggest to the developers that they give instructions or highlight how to use the app. I guarantee that their ratings will increase substantially. May God bless your ministry. PEACE W🕊
