Women of the Word How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds

I recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn how to study the Bible more accurately. She goes into how to handle various books based on the genre of that book. One has to understand what the author intended in order to interpret it correctly.

I wholeheartedly agree with Wilkin that we have a society full of Biblically illiterate people. This has allowed false gospels and false doctrines to run rampant in society leading many people astray.

A helpful and encouraging exploration of why it is important for women to pursue Bible literacy. Wilkin addresses the value of studying the Bible with both our hearts and minds to grow to love God more - not simply to increase our knowledge of Him. She provides some practical tips as to how to achieve this through the 5 P's (purpose, perspective, patience, process, and prayer) without being cheesy or trying to "feminize" scripture in efforts to relate more so to women either. This book definitely increased my desire to read God's Word more intentionally to better know and love Him. I would recommend this book for any woman wanting to dig into scripture regardless of stage of life or degree of experience with reading the Bible!

A good book on how to study the bible for yourself.
