Would you like to teach your kids how to study the Bible?
In so many devotional-type studies that we give our kids & teens, a few verses are referenced and then the writer immediately jumps into application. But we can’t rightly apply Scripture until we learn that crucial second step of interpretation.
So, in this inductive study through James, your student will learn how to mark the text for the purpose of understanding what the text means and how it applies to them.
Your middle school and high school kids will be ready to dive into the Self Study Workbook that walks them step-by-step through an inductive study of the book of James, paragraph by paragraph.
WORD-DRIVEN RESOURCE
Many families want a Word-driven resource instead of offering their kids more fluff and devotional thoughts.
If you're looking for a devotional, this is not for you.
If you're looking for Bible-themed busywork, then this is not for you.
We believe that middle school and high school students can handle digging into the actual text of Scripture. We don't need to water down passages.
Here's what you'll get:
Serious Word-driven study without “fluff”
Resources that will do more than just teach Bible stories
Depth, independence, learning beyond the “big stories” that are used in Sunday School
Using an actual Bible to teach
Helps them learn to read the Bible on their own and understand what they are reading
OPEN & GO
Are you worried that you won't be able to teach your kids how to study the Bible because you never learned it yourself?
No worries!
The James Self Study Workbook is open and go.
There's no preparation needed and your student can work through independently using our clear step-by-step instructions.

WHAT IS AN INDUCTIVE BIBLE STUDY?
Inductive Bible studies dig into the actual text of Scripture, taking students through three steps and asking these questions of the text:
Observation: What does the text say?
Interpretation: What does the text mean?
Application: How should this change me?
The inductive method is excellent for so many learning styles. It encourages visual, kinesthetic, and auditory learners in its approach to studying the Bible.
TEACHES CRUCIAL LIFE SKILL
Sadly, many children leave their homes without ever learning to read and study the Bible for themselves.
A passion for Bible literacy is the reason for offering these courses! Because it's never too late to learn. And the benefits of studying the Word in a deep and textual way will reap untold benefits.

Why am I passionate about bringing these courses to you?
As a girl who grew up in a Christian home, attended Christian school, and regularly attended church my whole life – I was struck by the fact that I was never actually taught HOW to study the Bible. I was told I needed to do it, but never given the tools for diving into the text itself.
About twenty years ago, as newlyweds, my husband and I were introduced to the Inductive Bible study method and have been reaping its benefits ever since. This was the tool that I wish someone would have shared with me in my middle school or high school years!
Now my husband is a pastor, and I’ve had the opportunity to teach ladies Bible studies with the inductive method. I’ve also been able to teach my own kids how to study the Bible this way. And now I'm excited to help your kids learn to study the Bible too.
How much does it cost?

What others are saying:
I love that we get to talk about God’s Word together as a family, and I get to hear their thoughts.
I’m really happy with the way the James: An Inductive Bible Study is working in our homeschool this year. Abby is a great teacher, and this is a fun way for 5th – 12th graders to study the Bible! Plus, I know God is speaking to them through it.
