How to Master the English Bible with Study Guide

Here is how Dr. James Gray opens chapter 1: "How to master the English Bible! High-sounding title that, but does it mean what it says? It is not how to study it, but how to master it; for there is a sense in which the Bible must be mastered before it can be studied, and it is the failure to see this which accounts for other failures on the part of many earnest would-be Bible students." We jump from book to book, passage to passage, always looking for the “key” to how to study the bible for ourselves. Dr. Gray convincingly argued that we always feel like we are grasping at air because we aren't studying the bible how God had intended--in the whole, and like a story. By breaking the text up into smaller and smaller pieces, hoping to wring every drop out of it, we miss the forest for the trees. James Gray’s simple solution is immediately applicable and the results can be seen in as little as an afternoon. Knowing that doing things as a group can be the best way to really learn and apply something, Zack Skrip has put together a study guide to go along with Dr. Gray’s book. This convenient 5 session guide will walk the participants through not only How to Master the English Bible, but also through a book of the bible to see the results in their own lives right away. Wanting to see Dr. Gray's work used by the next generation, Zack Skrip wrote a simple companion study guide that will help either the lone reader or the small group start studying the bible on their own as quickly as possible.
