A number of his books have become classroom texts, such as Living By The Book, Teaching To Change Lives, As Iron Sharpens Iron, and Color Outside The Lines, among others.

Hendricks writes both for the theologian and the novice Bible reader. He's clear, simple, and profoundly helpful in understanding how to appropriately read the Bible in the context of its original audience and meaning. This book was required reading for my seminary courses and, thus, I assumed it would be lofty in its presentation. However, Hendricks has a knack for making what would otherwise be complex ideas quite simple and accessible to every reader, regardless of age, background, or show more education. I highly recommend this book both for the avid studier of the Bible and for the curious lay reader of the Bible. show less

Howard Hendrick is such a wise sage package in simple language. This book is a masterpiece. It tells us how to read the Bible, to better understand and appreciate God's Word. If you ever want to learn about how to take a deeper dive into Scriptures, this book is the best roadmap.

Must read for any believer. Strong book on how to do Bible study. Read it 20 years ago and enjoyed it both times.
Rated B+
