37. THE BIBLE CAN BE:
Studied in the
following manner:
• By Verse
• By Chapter
• By Book
• By Character
• By Topics
Read devotionally in the
following manner:
• Canonically
• Chronologically
Arranged in the order in
which events took place
Arranged in the sequence in
which the early church
leaders decided (see
contents page lah!)

38. The Word of God is
like rich soil that you,
the tree, feeds on
The first time you read it, you touch
the surface only
The next time you read it, you go a
bit deeper
The more you read the deeper
you go
A strong flourishing tree is one whose roots go very deep into the ground. When
storms or floods come, it stands strong!
