“‘Never give up what you do know for sure for what you don’t know for sure.’” (Page 6)
“One of healthiest habits you can develop is to read through the entire Bible on a regular basis. Before you dismiss the idea as too difficult, let me put it in perspective. It’s not as formidable a task as you might think. At a very moderate rate, the entire Bible can be read in about seventy hours—about fifty-two hours for the Old Testament and eighteen hours for the New Testament. Divided over an entire year, those seventy hours equate to one hour and twenty minutes per week, or sixteen minutes per day if you were to read five days a week—or only eleven-and-a-half minutes per day if you establish the habit of reading your Bible every day.” (Pages 8–9)
“three modes of study—that have proven effective: devotional, systematic, and topical.” (Page 36)
“Likewise, when we read a book from the Bible, we should seek to understand the author and his message in the context of ancient history and culture.” (Page 31)
“The second most important study tool—after your Bible—is a notebook in which to record what God reveals to you as you read.” (Page 20)

"Heitzig has been publicly criticized for totalitarian leadership and a lack of fiscal accountability in connection with his 2004 departure from Calvary Chapel Albuquerque. A former board member wrote a letter to church leaders outlining many concerns. He wrote that Heitzig had stacked the Calvary Albuquerque board with out-of-town members— who did not attend church in Albuquerque, and who were more loyal to Heitzig than to Calvary. Heitzig and board member Paul Saber unsuccessfully tried to transfer Calvary's two multimillion-dollar radio stations to a corporation run by the two of them. Calvary Chapel Albuquerque founder Skip Heitzig apologized to the congregation for his role in a highly publicized struggle for control of the megachurch that eventually led to his resignation from its board of directors."
