Dr. Bruce Lackey said: "These materials have been gleaned from much interest and research regarding the various methods of Bible study, beginning with a college course which the author took many years ago and continuing through years of teaching and pastoring. Many books on the subject have been read, and while none of them has been copied, it would have been impossible not to have been influenced by them. This book is the result of, not only those many books, but also actual techniques hammered out on the anvil of personal study for Bible classes and preaching services. They are tried and proven. Also, many students have testified to the profit of learning and using these methods. May the Spirit of God, who moved men to write the holy scriptures, use these chapters to the edifying of God's people everywhere."
