About the Author
HOW TO GET STARTED…
Sometimes it’s hard to read directions. You simply want to get started, and only if all else fails will you read the directions. I understand, but in this case, don’t do it! These instructions are part of getting started, and they will help you greatly.
FIRST
As you study the book of Luke, you will need four things in addition to this book:
1. A Bible that you are willing to mark in. The marking is essential. An ideal Bible for this purpose is The New Inductive Study Bible (NISB). The NISB is in a single-column text format with larger, easy-to-read type, which is ideal for marking. The margins around the text are wide for note-taking.
The NISB also has instructions for studying each book of the Bible, but it does not contain any commentary on the text, nor is it compiled from any theological stance. Its purpose is to teach you how to discern truth for yourself through the inductive method of study. (The various charts and maps that you will find in this study guide are taken from the NISB.)
Whatever Bible you use, just know you will need to mark in it, which brings me to the second item you will need…
2. A fine-point, four-color ballpoint pen or various colored fine-point pens that you can use to write in your Bible.
3. Colored pencils or an eight-color Pentel pencil (available at most office supply stores).
4. A composition book or notebook for working on your assignments and recording your insights.
SECOND
Though you will be given specific instructions for each day’s study, there are basic things you’ll want to
