You know that Bible study is vital to your spiritual well-being. . .

. . .but you also know how life interferes with your time in God’s Word. That’s why we created My Bible Study Tracker. This handy journal is designed to focus your thoughts on a particular passage or topic in scripture, then gently walk you through a consistent, intentional study. You choose what you want to pursue in God’s Word, and My Bible Study Tracker encourages you first to consider the why: What is the purpose of your study?

Then, as you spend time in the scripture, you’ll be guided into the elements of inductive Bible study:

1) Observation: What does the text say?

2) Interpretation: What does the text mean?

3) Application: What does the text mean to you?

There’s a space for you to jot down a prayer with each study, and this journal will always encourage you to keep moving forward—even if you happen to miss a day (or a week) along the way.

God’s Word is living and active (Hebrews 4:12), and every minute spent in it will help your Christian life. My Bible Study Tracker is ready to guide you and cheer you on.
