It has been a joy to focus on becoming women of the Word with you this month, ladies! On Monday, we’ll be focusing on another commitment from the True Woman Manifesto. But, that doesn’t mean we’re going to leave our Bibles behind! I want to leave you with a list of some of Nancy’s favorite Bible study tools and devotional books (published in A Place of Quiet Rest, in 2000).
Use these tools only after you have searched the Scripture carefully for yourself. Ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the Truth in His Word, and work hard! Then—and only then—crack open these books, and learn from what God has spoken to others.
If you are unfamiliar with how to use these tools, ask a pastor or another experienced student of the Word for help!
