Wish I had read this book 20 years ago!

This book is like none I have read before. It has helped me understand how to read the Word of God through Observation, Interpretation and Application. This book is easy to read. Good for teenagers, homeschoolers, Sunday school teachers and students. Valuable resource!

Powerful!

Howard Hendricks has created a powerful tool for unlocking the meaning of the Scriptures. His method of Observation, Interpretation and Application reveals the immense depth of the text. And anyone can learn this! Reading this book created a desire and an unexpected excitement to get into the Word! This book is number 2 on my list of recommended reading (because it is so effective in helping to read book number 1 on my recommended reading list!). A must have book.

A must read

Not only is the method subscribed by this book useful in getting out of the Bible that which was intended, but if the first couple chapters don't get you downright excited about a study of the Word of God, then nothing will. This book will light a fire of desire to search, and find, ALL of God's Word.

This book is an excellent study tool for reading the Bible.

"Living By The Book" is the best introduction to the Bible that I have yet to read. Whether you are brand new to Bible study, or a seasoned lover of the Word of God- there are many helpful tools in this book. There is a wealth of knowledge to be discovered in the Bible, and this book shows you how to be a "spiritual" detective. Fun and rewarding reading! Thank you God, Howard, and William!
