EA Essential - engaging young people with biblical truth

Review

Dig Deeper is an easy-to-read book and contains lots of simple ideas – yet, putting these ideas into practice could completely transform the way you approach the Bible! Whether you have never really studied the Bible before or you have been studying it for years I recommend you read this highly practical book.

It’s designed to be a ‘toolbox’. Each chapter introduces a ‘tool’ that will enable you to understand the Bible more fully and help you apply what it says to your life. ‘Tools’ in this ‘toolbox’ include, ‘the author’s purpose tool’, ‘the structure tool’, ‘the linking words tool’, ‘the translations tool’ and ‘the “so what?” tool’. For each tool there is also a worked example – so you don’t just read about the ‘tool’, you also get to see it in action.
