Book Review: "Search the Scriptures"
So I've recently gone back to basics regarding bible study. Previously I was more of a devotional girl; I would read whatever devotional it was for that day and the associated verse, and I would then read and build on that verse. But I low-key also had a thing with devotionals where although they gave me structure; a lot of the time I didn't really enjoy it as my method for bible study.
Therefore I decided I would go back to basics; a good ol' bible reading plan. Alongside that, I use my journalling bible, ESV study bible and now, this new study guide - Search the Scriptures.
I'm committed to not making this a complicated process; because the more complicated it is; I have experienced the less likely you are to be consistent. But this study guide came as a recommendation and so far; I cannot say I'm disappointed! Naturally, I'm a very reflective person so the layout of this study guide was right up my street.
It is a very thorough study guide which gives an appropriate amount of prompts for the verses to help you reflect and go deeper into the text. I think this is such a beneficial aid to have alongside your bible and a worthy investment. I think I might use this more than my commentaries; commentaries can be really helpful in gaining a scholarly perspective on the biblical text. However, I'm starting to think of reducing my reliance on it to help me understand scripture.
I highly recommend this study guide if you feel that you need that support in studying scripture. You can find Search the Scriptures on Amazon.
