ABOUT THE AUTHOR: CYNDEE OWNBEY
Face-to-face with the realization that she was spending more time in her weekly Bible study reading the Bible study “book” rather than the Bible, Cyndee responded to God’s prompting to learn how to study His Word without a trusted Bible study leader or Pastor. The result – the READ Bible study method!
The women’s ministry team at her church used the READ Bible study method for the next year with great success. After seeing the women in her own church in North Carolina get excited about reading the Bible on their own, Cyndee set out to create a guide for any church to use to teach women how to READ the Bible.
In the years since, Cyndee has taught the READ Bible study method to hundreds of women through Bible studies, conferences, and workshops.
“TEACH YOUR WOMEN TO READ THE BIBLE ON THEIR OWN”
WHAT WOMEN LIKE ABOUT THE READ BIBLE STUDY FORMAT:
“I can take it and apply it to any book of the Bible.”
“I had to think and pray so I could know what God had for me not what someone else thought.”
“I liked that I was in charge of the information so to speak. I was able to seek out reputable sources and pull from different areas instead of listening to one person’s interpretation of what the passage meant.”
“It made me get more involved in the Bible study.”
“Absolutely love it. It gives me steps for more clear understanding. It had become a “rabbit hole” as I dig deeper and I love it. I’m learning so much and seeing things so differently.”

“Great! I enjoyed the women in my group, learning more about them, and studying the Bible together.”

Frequently Asked Questions
You can make unlimited copies for as many groups as needed. If you decide to use the READ Bible study for Groups with another group, two years down the road, you do NOT need to re-purchase the study.
I recommend starting with a shorter book of the Bible for the quick win. I address this question more completely in the How to Host the READ Bible Study for Your Church or Community ebook.
These books are ebooks – you will not receive a physical copy. Four PDF files will be sent via email. Please save a copy of each one on your own device.
The READ Groups format is best suited for groups of 6 or larger. I recommend that you divide larger groups into smaller discussion groups of about 10-12 members. You could use this study one-on-one for mentoring or discipleship, however you may want to purchase just the READ Bible Study Workbook here instead.
You will need at least an hour for your group to have enough time to work through all of the discussion questions. The books include a sample schedule for 1 hour, 1 1 /2 hour, and 2 hour Bible studies.
Most of our women were able to easily complete the homework in about 15-20 minutes per day. Our women really liked being able to choose how and to what depth they could complete their homework. Some chose to knock it out in one sitting, while a few spent several days digging into different commentaries.
Participants will need just 4 things: a Bible, a copy of the READ Workbook, access to a commentary, and access to another Bible translation. Free online resources for commentaries and translations are listed in the READ Workbook.
