About this ebook

The Bible is the inspired word of God, and every believer should study it in order to know the rich and vast content of God's divine provisions. When God speaks, He does so through His established eord. Therefore, we must study the Bible in a proper way in order to let the word of God dwell richly in our hearts. In order to study the Bible, we first must be proper persons, having passed through the necessary spiritual training under the Lord's leading and guiding. We must also use the right methods. Many good books have been printed on how to study the Bible, but most pay attention only to methods of studying the Bible; They do not pay enough attention to the person who studies the Bible. Even with the right methods, we can receive very little in our study of the Bible if Our person is not proper before the Lord.

Ratings and reviews

If there is any book that can match Nee's approach, you can add that to your review. But for me and many other people, looking at ourselves and our insufficiency is the first step. There is a great emphasis on the person studying the Word which i believe is the correct first step. Nee also discusses a really open ended and non legalistic study routine and style. Praise God for Nee!!!

Brother Nee takes you to another level when comming to the Bible! If you are serious about studying the Bible this book is a must! It is not a lightweight book by any means!

An eye opener for the people that have read the bible, and then read this book
