At the two extremes, you either sit down to study the Bible because you want to (Desire-Driven Bible Study) or because you should (Discipline-Driven Bible Study). Effective Bible study involves both Desire and Discipline but it is important which one you lead with. Half of this book helps uncover your Desire to know God (a.k.a. your "First Love") and nurture it so less Discipline is required.
The other half guides you through a simple 4-step Inductive Study method which is adapted for the needs of devotional Bible readers-regardless whether they were good students in school or not. The first letters of the 4-steps spell FLCR (Facts, Lessons, Challenges, and Responses) and are pronounced "Flicker." If you uncover your "First Love" and lead with that Desire while strengthening your Bible study skill you will build an enjoyable Time with God that will compete successfully for your time.
