Many experience the value of God's Word today as a treasure and His gift to man. Yet many today neglect it. This project provides one means of seeking to address this problem. This research measured the value of training people to study the Bible, specifically whether developmental training in personal Bible study methods would improve student attitudes toward their personal Bible study. It also measured whether the training would improve student habits in their personal Bible study. Following the development of the training course and the curriculum to be used, the research was designed to utilize a survey questionnaire constructed with a Likert-scale of response options. It also included multiple-choice options, as well as reverse scored items. The survey data were gathered for two class groups and a non-trained control group to increase the breadth of sample survey and comparison. The survey was used as a pre-test and post-test within the class groups, but only as a post-test with the control group. Additional qualitative data were gathered through focus group feedback from each class group and instruments that utilized open-ended questions, specifically -- a Bible study inventory that was used as a pre-test and post-test and a self-reported post-course evaluation form. This study found that the training was effective in improving the habits of Bible study for one class group. It was also effective in improving student habits and skills of relating the Bible to one's life and world for one class group. The research showed the training was not effective in improving the attitudes of students in either class.
