Audio Bibles

  • We already mentioned other tools that have access to audio-bibles; However, I want to emphasize the value of this tool.
  • When we study the Bible, we intend to keep the context of the book in mind and with longer books, it will take you longer to read the entire book in one sitting. You can make it more effective or while doing other tasks if you listen to it.
  • Taking the time to listen to the book you will be studying will be of great benefit to you for when you can pick up your Bible and begin to read and apply it. 
  • We recommend you:Public Reading of Scripture

Your Bible

  • Start by reading the introduction of your Bible so that you know its characteristics and what it contains.
  • As you progress in your reading and study, visit the cross-references or notes.
  • If you have a concordance or comments, they are excellent tools that you should not forget.

Merriam-Webster

  • Find definitions of words you don’t know or to clarify their meanings.
  • As we delve deeper into our study of the Bible, this process of searching for definitions will help you better apply what you study.

Bible Project

  • In this project you will find several resources, my favorite is the animated videos introducing the books.
  • But you can also see and study the posters with summaries of the books of the Bible.
  • Reading plans to guide you in your study.
  • They also have thematic videos available, which will help you delve deeper into some specific topics covered in the Bible.

Your sisters

  • This might not seem like a tool to study the bible, but it actually is a powerful one, talk to your sisters in the faith about what you are reading and studying.
  • Ask the questions that have arisen in your mind, they may not have all the answers, but you can grow and learn together.

Your Study and Sermon Notebooks

  • Taking notes during the Sermon or Bible studies is not simply to appear that you are paying attention, but so you can refer to those notes at another time.
  • Make sure you organize your notes, so you can find them easily.
