The Generous Wife

Earlier this week I asked y’all to share about your Bible study time, what you study, tools you use, study helps, practical ideas, etc. Your comments were such an interesting read, I gathered and organized them here in one post for us all to enjoy the wealth.

WITH WHOM
by yourself in personal study time
with your husband (apart or together)
with others in a Facebook group, app, small fellowship group at church, ladies Bible study, homeschool Bible class

WHEN
mornings
bedtime
when the kids are quiet or busy
the best time of day for consistency
during coffee time  :)  (gotta love this gal)

WHAT
read through the Bible (in a year, chronologically)
Proverbs (a favorite for several)
Psalms
Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John
Ephesians
Gideon’s story
Joseph’s story
topical studies
(Someone mentioned The Wayfinding Bible which offers three different “routes” of Bible study, depending on how deep you want to go.)

HELPS
devotionals
workbooks/guides
commentaries (Matthew Henry)
Strongs concordance
(One gal mentioned finding great books at thrift stores, garage sales, and library book sales. I’m with her. Our local library has a big old warehouse where they store donated books they can’t use. They make them available to the public for a donation. I’ve found a number of great books for our church lending library and for personal use.)

MORE HELPS
a Bible reading chart to mark off progress
Bible journaling
Bible copy work in a journal

ONLINE HELPS (I have not checked these out thoroughly so keep your brain in gear and read/listen with discernment.)
YouVersion app
First5 app
My Catholic Life emails
Bible Recap 5 minute daily podcast
The Bible Project videos
podcasts by Dr. David Jeremiah

Y’all have given me much to think about. I’m probably going to go with a deeper study of a New Testament book, but I do need to look at various helps online and in hard copy.

Oh, and the winner of the giveaway is the 3rd commenter. Congratulations, Lisa Johnson! You’ve won a set of Bible highlighters (or the book of your choice from the Marriage Book Library). I’ll contact you shortly by email.
