Before You Begin, A Few Things We Want You to Know
If we were sitting together with your Bible on the table, I would not begin by telling you how wonderful the course is. I would first tell you what it will ask from you, where it may feel difficult, and why I still think the effort can be worth it.
I want to be honest with you before you begin. At times, this course may feel slow, repetitive, demanding, difficult, or even boring. You may reread the same passage, write something down, check it, and change your first answer.
spread over many sittings
often enough for one sitting

You do not need to be an expert. You do need to be willing to slow down, try, and keep coming back.
We are telling you this now because we do not want anything important to surprise you later. The course asks something real from you because it is trying to give you something lasting: the ability to open the Bible and study it carefully for yourself.
Is This the Right EnjoyBible Course for You?
Your age matters, but so does the way you are ready to learn. There is no prize for choosing the hardest course. The better starting point is the one that gives you enough help to keep going while still asking you to think for yourself.
Choose this if you would do better with shorter activities, simpler instructions, and more help before longer notebook-based study. Starting more gently is completely fine.
Choose this course if you are ready to read carefully, write short notebook responses, practise, check your work, and gradually do more without someone telling you every next step.
If you want a more mature learning environment with longer and more independent study, choose the EnjoyBible course designed for older learners.
Why You Will Sometimes Read the Same Passage Again
You can understand the definition of Observation in a few minutes. Becoming someone who actually notices what is in a passage takes practice. The same is true of Interpretation. So yes, there will be times when I ask you to read the passage again, mark something, write a short answer, check it, and improve it.
READ → UNDERSTAND → MOVE ON
BIBLE → TRY → WRITE → CHECK → REVISE → PRACTISE
It is possible to understand a teacher’s answer and still feel lost when you open a new passage alone. I do not want that for you. We are working toward the day when you can say, “I know how to begin.”
This Is Text-Based Online Training
A webpage cannot look at your face and notice that you are confused. It cannot see that your attention has disappeared, that you are tired after school, or that you are clicking “Next” without really doing the study. A live teacher might notice those things. This course cannot always do that.
It is also mostly a reading-and-doing course, not a video course. If you strongly prefer learning only through videos or constant live interaction, some pages may feel harder than you expect. I would rather tell you that before you enrol.
It can explain the next step, show examples, give clues, and tell you where to restart.
You will still need to open the Bible, think, write something down, and make your own first attempt.
If your mind is tired, a short honest break is better than ten minutes of empty scrolling.
I cannot promise that every page will feel easy. I can promise that the instructions are meant to help you know what to do, why you are doing it, and how to keep going when the work becomes difficult.
Here Is How the Course Tries to Help You Keep Going
Your week may already be full. School, exams, family responsibilities, friendships, gaming, messages, videos, social media, and ordinary tiredness can all pull at your attention. So when the Bible study itself is difficult, you should not also have to struggle to work out what the course wants you to do.
Know what to do, why you are doing it, and where to write.
Longer pages are divided into manageable sittings so you can stop without losing your place.
The exact meaning of Selah is uncertain. EnjoyBible borrows the idea of a meaningful pause. Sometimes the best next step is to rest, let something settle, reflect, or return later.
Ayaan, Tara, Joel, and Meera learn alongside you through real questions, mistakes, and discoveries.
Clues and worked checks are available when needed, but they come after your own genuine attempt.
You will build your own small reference for study words such as Observation, Interpretation, Application, and Response, so you do not have to search through the whole course every time you forget a term.
I do not want the course to feel difficult because the instructions are confusing. But I also do not want to remove the practice that actually helps you learn.
Let the Bible Have the First Word
Teachers, study Bibles, commentaries, videos, and AI can all help. I am not going to tell you that using help is wrong. I am going to ask you to give the Bible and your own thinking the first turn. Then use help when you actually need it, and come back to the passage to check what you were told.
Otherwise, it is easy to receive a good answer while your own Bible-study skill stays weak.
You Will Move Between the Course, the Bible, and Your Notebook
Keep your Bible and PBS Notebook beside you. The course gives the next instruction, but the real study happens as you return to Scripture, notice what is there, and write your own work. You will not be asked to write essays. Often a few words, a marked phrase, a question, or one clear sentence is enough. But you cannot learn this skill by only tapping “Next.”
At first I will give you more help. Later I will deliberately say less. That is not because the course suddenly becomes unfriendly. It is because a good teacher eventually has to let you try. The goal is for these habits to become yours.
What I Hope You Notice Changing
Our dream is not to make you dependent on EnjoyBible. Our dream is to help you become a student who knows how to open the Bible, discover its message carefully, and keep growing with Scripture.
One learner. One open Bible. One passage read carefully. One truth understood faithfully. One honest response to God. Then another passage. And another.
Bible Study Is Bigger Than Finishing “Bible Time”
What you discover in Scripture should not stay trapped inside “Bible time.” Over time, God’s truth can begin shaping how you handle friendships, family, schoolwork, success, failure, money, technology, choices, temptation, purpose, and the future.
This does not mean forcing a Bible verse into every school subject. It means letting God’s truth shape the questions you ask, the values you carry, and the kind of person you are becoming.
Give Yourself Time
This is a substantial self-paced course. Plan for about 20 hours in total, spread across many sittings. Most of the time, 30–45 minutes is enough for one study period. You may take longer, especially if notebook-based study is new to you. That is completely fine. Careful Bible study is not a race.
When you reach a genuine Selah pause or another good stopping point, you may stop and return later without starting the page again.
At the End, There Is an Open-Book Review You Need to Pass
You will not finish simply by reaching the last page. At the end, you must complete and pass the Open-Book Course Review.

This is not a speed-memory test. You may use your Bible, PBS Notebook, PBS Dictionary, your own Micah and Jonah study work, and course pages. Some questions will ask you to open Scripture before answering.
No certificate is awarded. I want you to know that before you start. The review is there to help you see whether the method is becoming usable, and where you may still need practice. The real outcome is not a badge. It is being able to open the Bible and study it for yourself.
Before You Decide
You do not need advanced Bible knowledge. Your attention will wander sometimes. Your first answer will sometimes be weak. You may even need to redo a piece of work. None of that disqualifies you. The more important question is: Am I willing to practise?
There is nothing embarrassing about waiting. If this is not the right time, start more gently or come back later. I would rather you begin when you are ready than enrol enthusiastically and quietly disappear halfway through.
Are You Ready to Begin?
You do not need to impress anyone. You simply need to be willing to open the Bible, think carefully, make your own attempt, and keep learning when the first answer is not perfect.
Read that slowly. If you cannot honestly say it yet, that is okay. Choose a gentler starting point or come back later. If you can say it honestly, then you are ready to begin.
Bring an open Bible, a working notebook, and a willingness to learn.

Here Is What This Course Is Really Like
Please read this page carefully before you decide. If we were sitting together before you began, there are a few things I would want to tell you openly.
At times, this course may feel slow, repetitive, demanding, difficult, or even boring.
I would rather tell you that now than let you discover it halfway through and wonder whether something has gone wrong.
If you usually skim long descriptions, please do not skip the final “Before You Decide” section. It will help you decide honestly whether this is the right time to begin.
Why This Course May Feel Slower
You are learning a skill, not only listening to an explanation. Knowing what Observation means is not the same as becoming observant. Knowing the steps of Interpretation is not the same as learning to interpret a passage carefully. That is why you will reread, mark, write, check, revise, and practise again.
Video courses such as Udemy, LinkedIn Learning, YouTube, and others can be excellent for explanation and demonstration. This course will often ask you to pause the lesson, open your Bible, and do the study yourself.
WATCH → UNDERSTAND → MOVE ON
BIBLE → TRY → WRITE → CHECK → REVISE → PRACTISE
There is a difference between “I understood what the teacher did” and “I can now begin doing this myself.” We are working toward the second.
Online Training Has Real Limits
A webpage cannot always see when you are confused, tired, rushing, distracted, or quietly giving up. If we were sitting together, a teacher might notice and help you slow down. An online course cannot always do that.
We can make instructions clearer and give you better places to pause. We cannot supply your attention for you.
We Have Tried to Build This Around Real Learners
Classes, assignments, exams, projects, placements, friendships, fellowship, travel, and digital distraction may already fill your week.
Deadlines, shifts, meetings, travel, family responsibilities, ministry, and simple tiredness may make regular study difficult.
This course has grown out of decades of teaching Personal Bible Study skills and noticing where learners become confused, rush ahead, lose confidence, depend too quickly on ready-made answers, or stop practising. Teaching this way takes longer because we are not only explaining the method. We are giving you room to practise it.
Longer pages are divided into Learning Blocks, with Selah Breaks at genuine stopping points. The name is inspired by the word Selah that appears in the Psalms. You can pause there and return without losing the thread.
Know what to do and where to write.
Work through one meaningful unit at a time.
Pause at a genuine stopping point and return later.
Ask for focused help after your own first work.
We have tried to remove unnecessary difficulty. We have not removed the necessary work of learning.
If you give this learning your time and attention, we want you to know that we value that effort.
Let the Bible Have the First Word
Teachers, study Bibles, commentaries, videos, and AI can all be useful. We will not ask you to avoid good help. We will ask you to look first and make your own first attempt.
Otherwise, it is easy to receive a good answer while the skill itself stays weak.
What We Hope Begins to Change
The dream was never to make you dependent on EnjoyBible. The dream is to help you become a person who knows how to open the Bible and discover God’s truth for yourself.
One learner. One open Bible. One passage read carefully. One truth understood faithfully. One honest response to God. Then another passage. And another.
Give Yourself Time
This is a substantial self-paced course. You will work through it over many sittings, opening the Bible, using your PBS Notebook, practising, pausing, returning, and eventually completing more independent studies.
Expect to spend about 22–28 hours in total. Longer pages use Learning Blocks and Selah Breaks so you can stop at a sensible place and return.
The course concludes with a required Open-Book Review. You may use your Bible, PBS Notebook, and course pages. The aim is to check whether you understand and can use the method, not whether you can memorise course wording.
Before You Decide
You do not need advanced Bible knowledge, perfect discipline, or a completely free schedule. The more important question is: Am I willing to practise?
There is nothing wrong with waiting. It is better to begin when you are ready to give the learning some genuine attention.
If you are willing to learn this way, you are ready to begin.
Before You Enrol
Please Think Carefully
This course may not be for everyone.
This is not an easy click-through Bible course. It teaches a real skill:
how to study the Bible carefully for yourself.
The course asks something real from you because it is trying to give you something lasting.
Is This the Right EnjoyBible Course for You?
Choose by learning readiness, not simply by how much Bible study experience you already have.
Choose the gentler starting point if you prefer shorter activities, simpler instructions, and more support before attempting sustained notebook-based study. It is gentler, not childish.
Choose this course if you are ready to read carefully, write in a PBS Notebook, practise, check your work, revise, and gradually work more independently.
If you want a more mature learning environment with longer and more independent study, choose the EnjoyBible course designed for older learners.
Some Parts May Feel Difficult. That Is Part of Learning the Skill.
At times the course may feel slow, repetitive, demanding, difficult, or even boring. You may reread the same passage, rewrite an answer, or discover that your first conclusion was weak. The difficulty is not the goal. The skill is.
This trains you to notice what quick reading misses.
This teaches you to test ideas against Scripture instead of trusting your first impression.
Repetition helps the method become a habit you can later use without prompts.
You learn to think from the passage before opening clues, examples, AI, or other outside help.
The course will finish. The skill can continue serving your Bible study for years.
You cannot simply jump to random pages. Each stage prepares the skill needed for the next one.
Why ask this much? Because the aim is not merely to finish another online course. The aim is to help you open a Bible passage and know how to study it carefully for yourself.
You Will Do More Than Read the Screen
Keep your Bible and PBS Notebook beside you. A typical study rhythm is:
Checking or revising may send you back to the passage again.

This is not a speed-memory test. You may use your Bible, PBS Notebook, Micah record, Jonah record, and course pages. The review checks whether you can recognise and use the method you have practised.
No certificate is awarded. The final review is there to confirm learning, not to earn a certificate. The real outcome is the Bible-study skill itself.
Before You Enrol · Can You Say Yes?
Please do not enrol simply because the course looks interesting. Enrol if you are genuinely willing to do the work required to learn the skill.
✓ I am willing to spend about 15 hours learning and practising this skill.
✓ I can make serious study periods, often around 30–45 minutes, and return after a Learning Break when needed.
✓ I am willing to use a Bible and PBS Notebook, not simply read or scroll through the screen.
✓ I am willing to reread, mark, write, connect, check, and revise, even when practice feels slow or repetitive.
✓ I will make my own Bible-based attempt first before turning to AI, model answers, videos, commentaries, or another person for help.
✓ I understand that the lessons follow a guided sequence and are not meant to be opened randomly.
✓ I am willing to complete the required final Open-Book Course Review and reach the 60% passing grade.
✓ I understand that there is no certificate. I still want to learn the skill.
- You are looking for quick devotional thoughts without much study.
- You prefer not to write or review your own work.
- You want AI, videos, teachers, or model answers to handle most of the thinking.
- You want to skip around to only the lessons that interest you.
- You are mainly interested in getting a certificate. Or you do not want to finish the final review.
Not ready yet? Start with a gentler EnjoyBible course and return later. Choosing a more suitable starting point is better than enrolling enthusiastically and leaving the course unfinished.
The Course Is Demanding, but You Are Not Left Without Support
The support is designed to help you keep going while still protecting the most important part of the course: your own careful work with the Bible.
Fit study around schoolwork and real responsibilities. You can pause and return without losing the learning journey.
Longer pages include safe stopping points so you can complete a meaningful block, pause, and continue later.
New skills begin with specific guidance about what to do, what to write, and how to check. Where useful, mind maps and visual guides help you see how ideas and Bible-study steps connect.
Ayaan, Tara, Joel, and Meera learn alongside you. Their questions, mistakes, and discoveries help make difficult ideas easier to recognise without doing your work for you.
When a task is difficult, appropriate clues, checks, and worked examples are available after your own genuine attempt.
If an instruction is unclear, Team EnjoyBible can help clarify it through a WhatsApp message or email. We can guide you, but we will not do the Bible study for you.
Why Might the Effort Be Worth It?
Careful personal Bible study can help you understand Scripture more faithfully, recognise unsupported ideas, respond more wisely, deepen your life with God, and gradually develop a biblical way of seeing life.
School will finish. Examinations will finish. This course will finish. The ability to study Scripture carefully for yourself can continue for decades.
Are You Ready to Begin?
You do not need to be an expert. You do not need extensive Bible knowledge. You do need to be willing to practise.
If you cannot sincerely say this yet, please do not enrol now. Start more gently and return when you are ready.
If you can say it sincerely, you are ready to begin.
