Erdmann’s study journal is a great tool to dig deeper into the Word of God. With clear examples, she models how to look at a passage of scripture from multiple perspectives over the week. Erdmann encourages readers to think about the author, audience, setting, language of a particular verse. She suggests helpful tools. By the end of the week, I found new understandings and applications for the verses I studied. This journal is a wonderful partner for self-study or small group studies.
