First, Morris explains the principles of inductive Bible study:
- Fly Over: Reading the Text
- Dive In: Kneading the Text
- Take Out: Heeding the Text
Then he provides four step-by-step plans for organizing Logos for hands-on, practical Bible study. Here is the focus of each plan:
- Plan 1: Passage Guide
- Plan 2: Menus
- Plan 3: My Library
- Plan 4: Workspaces
Morris then gives you room in Plan 5 for choosing your favorite features from each plan to make your own customized plan.
For each plan, Morris suggests which books and Bibles to use and whether you need a collection, association, workspaces, automated report, etc. This manual is like having Morris in the room with you to help tweak and configure your system for personal Bible study the way you're accustomed to doing it.
Whether you’re a pastor, Sunday school teacher, or someone who just enjoys digging deep into the word, you’ll benefit from Morris' easy to understand style. He’ll teach you how to get the most out of your Bible study and the most out of Logos Bible Software 3.
