Review

"Hand this out with the Bible after alter calls (if you have them). Olesberg will rescue you with fresh perspective, imaginative engagement with God and his Word, and creative methodology for inductive Bible study." (Worship Leader Magazine, May 2013)

"I don't know what the solution is to getting kids to read Scripture daily and deeply, but this book will challenge you as it challenged me to be an example to them in word and deed." (Paul Turner, YouthWorker Journal, March/April 2013)

"The Bible Study Handbook is a welcome addition to the field of inductive bible study. As an introduction to the practice it is accessible, insightful and eminently practical." (Sean Gladding, author of The Story of God, the Story of Us)

"This book is like a key that unlocks life-changing ways for studying the Bible on your own. By the time you've finished, you'll want to jump out of bed and into the Bible every morning! The Lord is calling America to a Bible-reading revolution. The Bible Study Handbook will play a part in it." (Hal Seed, founding pastor of New Song Community Church and author of The Bible Questions)

"From foundational insights to best practices and hands-on exercises, this resource provides everything you need to cultivate your curiosity, hone your attention, and mine the applicabilities of any passage. And you'll be reminded of the insights, encouragement, and transformation waiting for people who commit to studying the Scriptures." (Journal of Christian Nursing, July-September 2013)

"Olesberg includes often-humorous anecdotes to personalize the text and illustrate her points, along with charts, maps and graphs to explain her teaching. Hands-on exercises help make Scripture more meaningful." (Cindy Grabill, Church Libraries, Spring 2014)

"Olesberg's anecdotes and writing style make this a readable book. . . . And her tips for adapting the method to a group setting are invaluable. It's worth the money." (Church Libraries, Winter 2012-13)
