Host A Bible Study Seminar At Your Church

2010-05-19T11:48:00.001-07:00

Pastor Andy has started sharing his Bible study seminar at churches this year. The seminar teaches listeners 14 of the 40 Bible study methods that are in his book. Here is feedback from some of his recent seminars.

05/08/2010, FIRST CHURCH & LIFESOURCE - EPHRATA, PA
When I heard Andy Deane at Calvary Chapel Montclair in December, I knew immediately that it was a something that would be great for our church as we pursue our vision of raising disciples of Jesus Christ. Digging out God’s truths for oneself is an essential skill for every disciple and Andy’s book and teaching provides the tools needed to do this in a marvelous way. The variety of methods means that there is a fit for every one. They do not require any special skills. The step-by-step methods mean anyone can use them, but also allows for individuals to go as deep as they are ready for. Along with that, Andy’s presentation is engaging and his passion for Bible study is contagious. The feedback I heard more than once was that it was even better than I had said in promoting it! Books continue to be snatched up. It is a springboard into our summer challenge for studying our Bibles and ideas are being explored for using some methods with our younger disciples also. There is a new passion for Bible study arising here in response to this seminar and we are excited about what that means for our future. God is good and we thank Him for what He is doing through Andy and the incredible resource that this book is for helping individuals mine the treasures in the Bible for themselves and apply them to their lives. (Barb Foster)
02/06/2010, CALVARY CHAPEL PACIFIC HILLS - LAKE FOREST, CA
Each of us are on a journey trying to grow in our connection with the Lord and to have a greater understanding of his purpose for our lives. It is through His Word, the Bible, where we strive to grow in our knowledge and understanding. The study methods taught in Andy Deane’s book are not only a “breath of fresh air” for one’s devotional life, but provides the tools that allow you to experience the Bible in a much deeper and personal way than you could have ever imagined. If you want to have a deeper and more personal relationship with our Heavenly Father, then you’re very next step should be to get this book and attend one of Andy Deane’s seminars. Andy’s approach and passion for wanting each and every believer to have a deeper relationship and understanding of God’s Word will give “new legs” to your walk with the Lord. So, whether you are new in your walk with the Lord or have been living the Christian Life for many years; you will never see God’s Word the same way again. Praise God!! (Pastor Ken Krikak)

01/30/2010, GRACE BIBLE CHURCH - POMPTON PLAINS, NJ
We had Andy Deane out to our church simply because his book, Learn to Study The Bible is THAT good; bottom line. The real bonus however was how well Andy communicated his material to the people. So, not only will your congregation get a workbook worth its weight in gold, but after Andy is done speaking, they will be energized enough to rush home and begin a Bible study plan asap! That's what happened at our church and thats why I'm writing this. (Pastor Frank Speer)

12/05/2009, CALVARY CHAPEL MONTCLAIR - MONTCLAIR, NJ
I just wanted to thank you for such awesome presentation a couple Saturdays ago about your new book. It was fantastic! I was touched and went back home, told my wife all about it, and have decided to dedicate that special time to reading His Word. It’s incredible!! Again, thank you for what you’re doing! God bless you! (Daniel Báez)

An Interview with Author Andy Deane by Apex Reviews

2009-10-22T15:47:00.001-07:00

Official Apex Reviews Interview: Andy Deane (Learn To Study The Bible)

Andy, thanks for joining us for this interview. We're looking forward to learning more about your book and other efforts.
Was there a specific event or experience that inspired you to put this helpful guide together?
This project came about after what I thought was going to be a fairly simple task of teaching a group of junior high students a few basic inductive Bible study principles that would help them to dig into the Word on a daily basis. The class wasn't forced upon them; they wanted to learn how to study the Bible for themselves. So, I agreed to share some of what I have learned about studying the Scriptures with them. I even threw in some clever (or at least I thought so) illustrations and examples that teenage minds could relate to, in an attempt to make the class fun and memorable. But to my surprise, after forty minutes they were actually worse off then when we began; all I had to show for my effort was a room full of frustrated and confused teenagers.

The collective look of bewilderment on their faces was one of the scariest moments I've ever had as a youth pastor. However, the worst part of all was that I accomplished the exact opposite of what I had set out to do: instead of getting them excited about studying the Bible, they left feeling as though it was totally out of their reach.
What a disaster! I quickly realized that the biggest mistakes I made were:
1) Trying to teach them a method of Bible study that was too complicated for them to grasp.
2) Presenting it to them as if it was the only way to study Scripture.
I was determined to right this wrong, but first I needed to do a little research. So, I began to look for the perfect Bible study method - one that would open their young minds to the greatness of the Bible.
A personal quest began to grow out of my utter failure. Every day I searched for new study methods that would unlock God's Word. I read over thirty books (many out of print) and visited countless websites looking for the best Bible study methods. None of the ones I found were perfect, but many of them had interesting points of view and seemed like they would be fun to try. So I did. That is when I began to realize that I was onto something more than I anticipated at the start. My search resulted in not one, but numerous inspiring and challenging Bible study methods suitable for any Christian, young or old, who desires to draw nearer to the Lord through studying His Word.
In the end, I had compiled a list of forty different step-by-step Bible study methods. I tested each of them myself, improving upon some in order to make them a little more efficient and to the point. As I was doing the work, a desire to share my discoveries with others began growing in my heart. I wished that everyone could read the books and websites for themselves, but I knew that wasn't very realistic. So I did the next best thing. I decided to bring it all together in this one book, Learn to Study the Bible: Forty Different Step-by-Step Approaches to Help You Discover, Apply, and Enjoy God's Word.
Why did you ultimately decide upon the number 40 for the amount of methods that you include?
Honestly, I only really had 39 Bible study methods when I decided to put this research into book form. But that number just seemed way too close to 40. So I asked the Lord for wisdom in adding another method. I didn’t want it to be a weak method that was too similar to the other ones. Eventually, about 1 month before completion of the book, the Lord gave me the idea for the Skeptics Method based on an article I read in Bible study magazine about something Mark Driscoll does in his church. That method ended up being one of my favorites!

If there were only one piece of advice that you could give to someone who wants to study the Bible but dreads the thought of doing so, what would it be?

Read to meet with Jesus. One of the main reasons why we study the Bible is to get to know the Author better. That is why setting a goal for our Bible study that focuses solely on gaining knowledge and facts, misses the point. Look for clues in the text that reveal God’s attributes and meditate upon what you are learning about Him in His Word. When we study the Bible with the understanding that it is God’s love letter to us, it will help us to get to know Him more intimately. The Scriptures lead us directly into God’s heart, so missing Him in all our studying would be a failure to grasp the most
important lesson. By seeking to know the Lord better through our study of His Word we will begin to cherish that time and long for more of it each day because it is the place where we get to meet with Jesus. Best of all, when the day finally comes and we stand before Him face-to-face, we will not be doing it as strangers.

Christ is the key to understanding the Scriptures (John 5:39-40). One exciting discovery you make as you study the whole Bible is finding that Jesus Christ is the centerpiece of each of the Bible’s sixty-six books. He is in everything: the law, the prophets, and the psalms (Luke 24:25-27). So when we see a priest in Scripture, it reminds us that Jesus is our High Priest. When we see a king or a shepherd, it is a type of Jesus, our Chief Shepherd. When we see a sacrifice, we remember Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Everything in the Old Testament foreshadows, and points to, Jesus. Everything in the New Testament reflects back on the life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Search diligently for Jesus in every passage—He is there!

How have readers responded to the book thus far?

Everyone seems very excited about the variety that this book has to offer. You can read the reader reviews at http://www.learntostudythebible.com/bible-study/book-reviews.asp.

Do you plan to visit churches and other organizations in the future in order to share more about the book with their members?

Yes, I’m sharing seminars on “How to Have Daily Devotions” as well as teaching classes on “How to Study the Bible”.

Please share more with us about your publisher, Xulon Press.
Xulon Press is a Christian publisher that is owned by Salem Communications. They were very helpful.

In addition to being an author, you're also a youth pastor. Please share more with our readers about your efforts in that field.
Being a youth pastor is my first love in ministry. I love discipling students and teaching them the core principles of God’s word. I want to make youth group fun for them. The Bible shouldn’t be boring and we try and impart an excitement for reading the Bible at our youth group. We take the students on a missions trip to the Dominican Republic each year, as well as retreats, road trips, and other events. My favorite event of 2009 was the “New Testament Challenge Week”. We had 20 students read the entire New Testament in one week together as a group. I was so proud of them!

Readers can call (888)271-2551 and more contact information is at the book’s official website: http://www.LearnToStudyTheBible.com.

Any final thoughts you'd like to share with our readers?
It’s worth it to get into God’s word daily! Studying the Bible is a spiritual discipline that requires both time and effort. In the physical world, everyone knows that it takes more energy to digest meat than milk. The same can also be said of the spiritual world. Assimilating the "meat" of Scripture requires more effort than sipping on the "milk" of the Word. Sometimes we make the mistake of thinking that because it is a spiritual pursuit it should not be labor intensive. However, with little perspiration you will fi nd little inspiration. So, yes, Bible study is work, but the riches that you will discover as you dig into the Bible will be well worth the time and energy you devote.

A.B. Simpson wrote, "God has hidden every precious thing in such a way that it is a reward to the diligent, a prize to the earnest, but a disappointment to the slothful soul. All nature is arrayed against the lounger and the idler. The nut is hidden in its thorny case; the pearl is buried beneath the ocean waves; the gold is imprisoned in the rocky bosom of the mountains; the gem is found only after you crush the rock which encloses it; the very soil gives its harvest as a reward to the laboring farmer. So truth and God must be earnestly sought."

The greatest religious thinkers didn't just distill what their preacher told them. They did their homework. "Learn to Study the Bible: 40 Different Step-by-Step Methods to Help You Discover, Apply, and Enjoy God's Word" (ISBN 9781607915768) is a guide for the thinking Christian who wants to enhance their faith through greater understanding of the work by studying the Bible themselves. Offering many methods to gain a better understanding of the scripture and how to apply it in life, "Learn to Study the Bible" is a must for any Christian who wants to be informed and armed with the knowledge of God's word.

Book Review by Bible Study Magazine (Logos Bible Software)

2009-09-10T08:30:00.001-07:00

Bible Study Magazine is the most helpful magazine that I receive. It has tons of great articles on how to study the Scriptures. If you haven't checked it out you really need to soon. I was just told that my new book will be reviewed in the Nov-Dec 2009 issue of this magazine. Be sure to look for it in the magazine. An advance copy of the review can be read below as well.

Learn to Study the Bible: 40 Different Step-by-Step Methods to Help You Discover, Apply, and Enjoy God’s Word
Xulon Press, 2009

Even for the most avid Bible reader, studying the Book can become dry and repetitive. That’s why Pastor Andy Deane wrote Learn to Study the Bible—a guide that offers 40 Bible study methods—more than any book of its kind.

Deane presents an image of the Bible as a treasure trove for the reader’s keeping. The book has seven sections, beginning with a segment discussing the importance of observation, interpretation, and application—a method developed by Robert A. Traina and furthered by Precept Ministries—for effective study of Scripture. The chapters in each section provide Bible study methods appropriate to particular groups (e.g., teenagers, new Christians, longtime Christians). A handwritten example of each method accompanies its description.

One of the concluding chapters suggests building a reference library, including a concordance and Bible dictionary. It also offers guidance about how to use them for more meaningful Bible study. Deane advises that people use more than one method when studying the Bible—to maintain joy and satisfaction. Deane’s work is ideal for anyone interested in deepening his or her daily devotions.

PASTOR BOB COY
Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale

"Certain things in the Christian life are non-negotiable, and studying the Bible is one of them. Every believer, regardless of the spiritual season they’re in, must have a regular routine that gets them engaged in God’s Word. But while the “must” to study is universal, the “method” isn’t. What works well for some doesn’t work at all for others. We’ve been wired differently and learn in different ways, which is why this is such a relevant and important book. With 40 different methods of studying the Bible, there’s something here for everyone. No matter who you are or how you’re wired to learn, you’re going to find a key in these pages that will unlock the riches of God’s Word in your life."

DR. MICHAEL CATT
Senior Pastor of Sherwood Baptist Church / Sherwood Pictures (FIREPROOF MOVIE)

"Learn to Study Your Bible is an affordable and practical book for those who want to dig deeper and get more out of their personal Bible study."

PASTOR BRIAN BRODERSON
Associate Pastor of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa

"Anything that will help Christian people get more into the word and more out of the word is bound to be a great blessing. This book will do just that. Andy has done a fantastic job of laying out numerous options for Bible Study. I'm sure there's a method here that will be helpful for most everyone who is serious about growing in the Lord through his word."

Cool Bible Study Quotes

2009-03-22T15:06:00.001-07:00

THE BIBLE IS: Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (Read it!)

"The Bible is the inerrant Word of God. Its sixty six books are not a collection of religious writings, advancing certain theories, but they constitute one body, breathing with life and power. From the first verse in Genesis to the last verse in Revelation there is a wonderful continuity of thought, without any clash of opinion; all is a harmonious whole. This fact necessitates one great Author, One who guided the thoughts of each writer and who is instructed them to write as they did. This guiding and supervising Author is the Spirit of God... 2Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:21" - Arno C. Gaebelein

"Education is useless without the Bible. The Bible was America’s basic text book in all fields. God’s Word, contained in the Bible, has furnished all necessary rules to direct our conduct." - Noah Webster (1758-1843) -- The Schoolmaster of the Nation.

"The Bible is the best of all books, for it is the word of God and teaches us the way to be happy in this world and in the next. Continue therefore to read it and to regulate your life by its precepts." - John Jay (1st Chief-Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court)

"We have staked the future of American civilization upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God." - President James Madison

"The great reservoir of the power that belongs to God is His own Word – the Bible. If we wish to make it ours, we must go to that Book. Yet people abound in the Church who are praying for power and neglecting the Bible. Men are longing to have power for bearing fruit in their own lives and yet forget that Jesus has said: 'The seed is the Word of God' (Luke 8:11)." - R.A. Torrey

"You are writing a Gospel, a chapter a day, By deeds that you do, by words that you say. Men read what you write, whether faithless or true; Say, what is the Gospel according to you?"

"The Bible: More up-to-date than tomorrow’s newspaper!"

The Best Bible Study Method

2009-03-22T15:01:00.001-07:00

The absolute best method of studying the Bible is simply to read it, prayerfully, every day, paying close attention to obey what it says. Meditate on the Scriptures and don’t stop reading until they have somehow worked their words, message, truth, and revelation of Jesus into the very soul of your being. Nothing extraordinary about that, really, studying the Bible is wonderfully simple. Learn to enjoy God’s Word and to apply its truth quickly and you will always find what you seek—His will for your life!

Why Satan Doesn't Want You To Study The Bible

2009-02-02T19:11:00.001-08:00

I’m convinced one of Satan’s most successful schemes against God’s people is in blinding us to the importance and relevance of spending time studying the Scriptures. God’s Word is invaluable. It is a far greater treasure than anything this world has to offer yet many treat it as though it has no worth. Instead of investing time studying the Bible, it is left unopened and gathering dust. Whether it is because of busyness, complacency, or just a lack of awareness, believers miss out on the benefit of growing in their relationship with the Lord when they do not cherish and abide in, His Word.

Satan’s primary objective is to prevent Christians from appropriating all that is rightfully ours as God’s children. He wants us to live spiritually bankrupt and destitute lives and one of the ways in which he goes about accomplishing that is by keeping us from studying God’s Word. It is simple really: If we don’t know who we are or who our God is, then we will miss out on what He wants to do in and through our lives. God has given us a surpassing treasure according to the riches of His glory—we have every spiritual blessing in Christ. But unless we are grounded in biblical truth, we are destined to be ineffective for the gospel in this world. However, when we make time to study the Bible our lives are enriched and established upon the sure foundation of His Word.

What treasure does the Word of God have to offer you? Let me give you a description of the riches that God has for those who study the Bible. I've heard Psalm 19:7-10 paraphrased like this, "The revelation of God is whole and pulls our lives together. The signposts of God are clear and point out the right road. The life-maps of God are right, showing the way to joy. The directions of God are plain and easy on the eyes. God's reputation is twenty-four-carat gold, with a lifetime guarantee. The decisions of God are accurate down to the nth degree. God's Word is better than a diamond, better than a diamond set between emeralds. You'll like it better than strawberries in spring, better than red, ripe strawberries." We have to develop the same heart of the psalmist who says in Psalm 119:162, “I rejoice at Your Word as one who finds great treasure.”

Let me share with you eight benefits of studying the Bible:
1. It assures you of your salvation (1 John 5:13)
2. It guides you with your decisions (Psalm 119:105)
3. It gives you confidence in prayer (John 15:7)
4. It cleanses you from sin (John 15:3 / John 17:17)
5. It brings joy (John 15:11)
6. It gives you peace (John 16:33)
7. It makes you strong (1 John 2:14)
8. It leads to success (Joshua 1:8)

The Bible answers life’s biggest questions.
In addition to getting to know the God who created us, studying the Bible also helps us to learn about ourselves, and the world in which we live. Answers to all of life’s biggest questions are found in God’s Word. Such as:
• Who am I?
• Why am I here?
• Where did I come from?
• Where am I going?
• What should I do with my life?
• What is my relationship to God?

The Bible answers all of these questions and so much more: it is our Creator’s revelation to us. When we understand this, we will begin to rightly esteem its value and importance in our daily lives. We will also view the time we spend in God’s Word as the most vital part of our days and guard that time from being disturbed by the constant stream of distractions that make up our modern lives. Ringing cell phones and never-ending emails are always clamoring for our immediate attention, but as we discipline ourselves to set time aside to study God’s Word we will realize that intrusions such as these will be better handled after we have spent time with the Lord. What are you waiting for? Open your Bibles and find your reward! Are you unsure of how to study the Bible?

In his new book, LEARN TO STUDY THE BIBLE: Forty different step-by-step methods to help you discover, apply and enjoy God's Word, Andy Deane (Associate Pastor at Calvary Chapel Old Bridge in central New Jersey) reminds Christians not to “toss aside” the greatest treasure of all—God's written Word.

At a time when we have more accessibility to the wisdom of Scripture than ever before, statistics show that only a small percentage of Christians actually study the Bible on a regular basis. In a recent poll, 72% of those asked said they believed that the Bible is the inspired word of God but only 12% said they read it on a daily basis. Why is that?

In his book Andy Deane states one main reason is because many have simply never been taught. He says, “Christians know the importance of Bible study, but lack the basic skills to study God's Word and apply it to their daily lives.” In LEARN TO STUDY THE BIBLE, he offers a solution to that problem.

No other resource available today provides the large variety of Bible study methods, hand written llustrations, and study aids that are available in this one volume. The hundreds of hours spent researching and proving these forty different step-by-step methods will enable you to find one that will fit your goals and begin enhancing your understanding of God's Word.

These forty easy to follow methods will help you get the most out of your Bible reading and unlock the riches of Scripture in your own personal study time.
