A while ago I ordered the Verse Mapping Journal, and enjoyed the process of mapping verses, but I didn't stick with working on it as I should have. I was out of relationship with God, and not really committed to doing the work. This year, God called me back to Him, and I was obedient to His calling. I have been craving a way to get into His Word, to know Him more, to deepen my relationship with Him. I was doing bible studies, but I felt a need to rightly divide the Word myself. I wanted to know how others knew so much about the facts surrounding biblical situations. How others came to know the Word so deeply. When I saw the entire mapping system offered in the Bible Binder Study System, and the Mapping Course, I ordered both. A whole new world of understanding was opened to me! Learning about the various resources for study was amazing. I no longer feel intimidated by studying on my own. I look forward every day to finding time to study, and I don't even watch the clock, wondering when I can get to the next task. In fact, I feel a bit annoyed when I have to stop studying and take care of other tasks. :) I love this system so much, I have shared it with family. I wish I could gift one to everyone I talk to, because I feel it is so valuable to personal study time. On a customer service note, I wanted to say The James Method is amazing. I was using Shop as my checkout, and happened to be spending 6 months in a warmer climate (as a Snowbird), and I didn't realize my home address was the default. After the order went through--on a Friday night--I realized my error. I immediately messaged the company, and the following Monday I received a message from Lauren saying she fixed my address. Thank you Lauren and Team for completely changing the way I study the Word. Thank you for helping me let the Holy Spirit lead my time studying, and for taking the intimidation out of the process. Also, thank you for the additional helps through your YouTube channel. I watch it often!
