questions for misceegee

It’s an inductive Bible Study for children. It was published by Sonlight, but is now out of print. It’s written as a workbook, but used copies are available. Lindafay has a file in her forum that has it partially. I’m in the midst of completely retyping it for my kids because my copy came written in. If interested, pm me your email.

Christie, I’m interested in whatever this is you’re all talking about! Would you mind emailing me too??

I’ve emailed Sonlight about the copyright. I’ll just give a brief overview here. 

It has 14 different study methods, each followed with scriptures to study with that method. They are broken into short (5-10m) and long (15-20 or 20-30m) sections. 

The short sections include:

• Dig In – studying 1-2 verses
• Wise Up – studying proverbs
• Sing Along – studying psalms
• The Navigator – studying prophecy
• The Surveyor – surveying the rest of Scripture
• The Watchman – meditating on a passage

The long sections:

• Manhunt – studying a person’s life
• Day in Court – studying the Law
• Get That Story! – studying history passages
• The Postal Inspector – studying Bible letters
• The Forecaster – studying prophecy
• The University – studying great lessons
• Story Time – Studying Jesus’ parables
• The Detective – Studying a Book

Also includes a Logbook to track your studying.

Each section guides you in types of questions to ask. Here are partial examples of 3 sections.

Dig In will show you how to look deeply into a few Bible verses.

1.  What dies this law command?

The book is 190 pages and designed to be written in. Most sections have 8-9 passages or groups of passages to look up. There are 5 leading chapters that are titled:

1. That Old Book?

2. Why Study the Bible?

3. How to study the Bible?

4. What’s in the Bible?

5. How to Use this Book. (14 methods explained, I’ve listed the 3 examples above.)

I like this book and am looking forward to using it. It is a great step in learning how to study the Bible long term, imo. I hope that helps you understand. I did retype the pages for my kids because my copy is written in partially. I won’t share that file due to copyright issues unless I get the ok from Sonlight. 

Sonlight offers this now and says it’s similar.
