Imagine doing a study of a passage of the Bible and making discoveries of your own that were not guided by the author of a purchased Bible study book. With that new skill, you will see Scripture come alive and your confidence grow in leaning on the Holy Spirit to guide you as you study God's Word.

That's what independent Bible study is! Fun and exciting . . . 

In this Chart Your Bible Study Course, you will not only learn how to study it on your own, but how to show your studies graphically in a Unique Chart.

We've packaged together 3 components to help you learn this method:

The BOOK: You'll follow directions in the INDEPENDENT BIBLE STUDY book (pdf format), authored by Irving L. Jensen. Previously published by Moody Press from 1962 to 1996, it sold over 72,000 copies. Electronic copies have been available at Logos.com since 2016. Printed book also available.

The CHARTS eBOOK: The 2nd component is an eBook of 350+ sample colorful charts made by students of the author in college classes at Bryan College in Dayton, Tennessee. Seeing many colorful examples of the charts will quicken the learning process for you immensely!

The VIDEOS:  Consider the video lessons by the late author's daughter, Karen, as your guide as you work through the 5 steps of creating your first unique chart. Work through the lessons at your own pace, watching Karen as she also creates one alongside you. 

Need some help and encouragement as you walk through the course? We also have available a private Facebook group to allow you to interact with others, get questions answered, and inspire you as you view charts that others like you have posted.
