A new version of Kathleen Nielsons acclaimed book that addresses high school students with the aim of encouraging and equipping them to engage in effective study of the Bible. The most crucial way we can prepare young people for the challenges that lie ahead is to arm them well with the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. This book lays the foundation: it explains what the Bible is, and what that means for how we should study it. Five fundamental truths are clearly presented: the Bible is God speaking; powerful; understandable; literary; one whole story. From each of these truths come practical implications for why and how we study the Bible along with concrete examples and study questions that lead students in personal application. The goal is for high school students to grow not just in a particular method but in a whole understanding of Gods Word and how to let that Word speak effectively into our lives.
