THE PROBLEM

Too many Christians feel locked out of God’s Word

“I want to study the Bible, but I don’t know where to start. I’m not a pastor or a scholar. What if I get it wrong?”

That quiet fear keeps millions of sincere Christians from one of the most transformative things they could do with their time. The problem isn’t intelligence, education, or spiritual maturity. The problem is that no one ever showed them a clear, repeatable process for opening the Bible and understanding what it actually says.

This book changes that. Six steps, any passage, any believer. That’s the promise.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Six steps to confident Bible study

Each step builds on the last. Together they form a complete, repeatable method that works for any book of the Bible — from Genesis to Revelation.

Choose Your Study

01

Select the right type of Bible study for your goals and the passage you want to understand. Starting right makes everything else easier.

Use Simple Tools

03

Discover the basic reference tools that unlock Scripture — and learn how to use them without getting overwhelmed.

Apply the Truth

05

Move from observation and understanding to personal application. This is where Bible study becomes life change.

See the Big Picture

02

Understand the context of any passage before diving into the details. Context is the foundation of accurate interpretation.

Dig Into the Details

04

Learn to ask the right questions of any text — who, what, when, where, why, and how — and find answers that hold up.

Write It Down

06

Capture your study in a structured format you can return to. The act of writing solidifies understanding and reveals new insights.

ENDORSEMENTS

What Bible teachers are saying

I’ve read many books on how to study the Bible and Study the Bible: Six Easy Steps is one of the best. The steps make sense and are well thought out. The structure and writing are easy to follow from the introduction to the basics of study tools to real-world examples of stepping through the book of Titus. Easy to recommend for beginners and seasoned Bible students alike.

Dennis is equal parts precision and passion for the power of God’s Word to impact you. He has taught, taught, and re-taught the content of this book. He has wept with joy to see it impact God’s people as they’ve studied and discovered the Bible for themselves. Pray, read, dig, journal, and discuss this great resource.
