What kind of Bible and tools should I use to study effectively?
A good study Bible with cross-references and helpful footnotes is recommended, along with learning how to study rather than merely read. The emphasis is on studying Scripture to show oneself approved unto God, getting into the book deeply. Time spent this way is better than watching television.
Les teaches that the benchmark of living is to study to show thyself approved unto God, noting that Scripture does not say to read your Bible but to study it. He encourages getting into the book and not just reading it but studying it. He advises buying a good cross-reference Bible, saying he doesn't particularly care which one, but to get a good study Bible with cross-references and footnotes, which always help.
