The blog title is from Proverbs 3:5. I'm not sure which version of the Bible it is from, nor does it really matter at this juncture. If you ask me there are too many versions of the Bible as it is. It can get very confusing. Needless to say I don't like being confused.
For years I have wanted to learn the Bible. I even went as far as reading it a couple of times, but I only retained a few key points. My problem was, when reading it, I would read it as a book, front to back, cover to cover, but I wanted more, a whole lot more. Thus I began my search.
Over the years I have spent countless hours searching for a comprehensive Bible study. I soon discovered any study worth doing came with a hefty price tag. Also studies that were free were often to simple, or seemed to only cover the basics. Well my friends, my search is over... I hope.
I came across a series of books, "the Smart Guide to the Bible". Truthfully, the thing that caught my attention is the fact they resemble the popular "For Dummies" books, and that is what I felt like at times... a dummy.
I was able to find these books listed on my favorite shopping site (It's the one with the same name as a rain forest in South America.), and in my opinion they were relatively affordable.
I decided to start my studies with the New Testament, so I purchased "The Book Of Matthew" Smart Guide. Over three hundred and seventy pages cover to cover. It took me two days just to read the introduction.
