Currently, at our church, we are engaged in a monthly Bible study for women. We are using the book What Do I Know About My God? by Mardi Collier as the base of our study. In her book, Mrs. Collier describes a method of Bible study that she developed. The method involves reading through the Bible (we're starting in Psalms for the purpose of our monthly study) while keeping a notebook next to you. The notebook contains headings (that you compose) that describe what God tells us about Himself and His character through His Word. (Example: My God is in Control, My God is Creator, etc.).
I am enjoying the monthly study as we work through the book of Psalms, but I'm also enjoying the study on a daily basis. Greg (my husband) and I are reading through the Bible this year as a family. The plan we are using has us reading four (roughly) chapters of the Bible a day, two as a family, two personally. As I go through my daily reading, I'm finding the "What Do I Know About My God" notebook a valuable tool. It is helping me develop my understanding of a Biblical worldview as I write the verses under categories describing God's character and nature.
I highly recommend this Bible study method and the book What Do I Know About My God? Stay tuned for future postings that contain some of my notebook headings and appropriate Scripture passages in the months to come.
