You can be flexible when you use the methods. Sometimes it is hard to tell when the study of a word becomes the study of a topic or a theme. You can use methods from all three. There are lots of good Bible concordances, commentaries, and encyclopedia's on the internet so you might not use the exact one that is recommended in the book if you can't find it (or you could probably order it from Amazon!). You can find Strong's numbers for KJV and NASB on BibleHub. I would give this book 10 stars if I could. But to benefit from it you are going to have to commit hours of time over days and in some cases weeks. Some of the studies can be done in a few hours but others will take weeks. I recommend it highly. You will have to get in and drive it around, but it will blow your doors off!
The only complaint I have about this book is the binding (hence the 4 stars). It is so poor that the spine cracked and pages were falling out before I finished reading the 2nd chapter. I'm going to contact the publisher and see if they will send me another book. Until then, I'll have to use lots of tape to keep the pages in place!
Other than this, the book is excellent and would be a great addition to any Christian's library, but especially if you are a teacher of the Bible.
The condition used-very good. The book was clean. I'm using it for my Sunday School Lessons & personal Bible Study. The methods will help me organize my notes. I thank the Seller.
I also like the fact that Rick Warren explained various Bible translations and provided a list of tool to use during Bible Study. His explanation of each Bible study tool is so helpful. It is great that he provided a list of good commentaires and so forth to use. His explanations enabled me to purchase several good tools for my library and to know how to use them.
I recommend this book to anyone interested in studying God's word. I gave the book to a new minister, and two Church School teachers. They all found the book to be very helpful.
