Ages 13–16 · Before You Start 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. ABOUT 20 HOURSspread over many sittings 30–45 MINUTESoften enough for one sitting OPEN-BOOK REVIEW60% needed to pass 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. Choose the right starting point 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. Foundational Course 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. Ages 13–16 · This Course 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. Older Learner? If you want a more mature learning environment with longer and more independent study, choose the EnjoyBible course designed for older learners. You are learning a skill 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. A screen-only lesson may feel like READ → UNDERSTAND → MOVE ON EnjoyBible will often ask you to 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.” One limitation I do not want to hide 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. The course can guide you.It can explain the next step, show examples, give clues, and tell you where to restart. It cannot do your attention for you.You will still need to open the Bible, think, write something down, and make your own first attempt. You are allowed to stop.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. We know attention can be hard 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. Clear Teacher InstructionsKnow what to do, why you are doing it, and where to write. Good Places to StopLonger pages are divided into manageable sittings so you can stop without losing your place. Meaningful Selah PausesThe 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. Co-LearnersAyaan, Tara, Joel, and Meera learn alongside you through real questions, mistakes, and discoveries. Help After Your First WorkClues and worked checks are available when needed, but they come after your own genuine attempt. A Growing PBS DictionaryYou 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. One habit matters throughout the course 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. BIBLE FIRST → MY OWN FIRST WORK → HELP IF NEEDED → BACK TO THE BIBLE Otherwise, it is easy to receive a good answer while your own Bible-study skill stays weak. What studying will actually look like 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.” COURSE → BIBLE → PBS NOTEBOOK → RETURN 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. Why the practice matters What I Hope You Notice Changing At first: “Where do I begin?” With practice: “I know how to slow down and see what is actually in the passage.” As confidence grows: “I can work out what the writer is communicating and check whether my answer fits.” Over time: “I can carry the truth carefully into life, respond to it, and begin another passage without waiting for someone to tell me every next step.” 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. The Bible is meant to travel with you 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. Know the commitment before you begin 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. I want you to know this now 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. 30auto-graded questions Open BookBible + your study work 60%passing grade 3attempts available 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. Read this part carefully before you decide 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? You are probably ready to begin if... ✓ You genuinely want to learn to study Scripture for yourself. ✓ You are willing to keep a Bible, PBS Notebook, and growing PBS Dictionary with you. ✓ You will make your own first attempt before looking for answers. ✓ You are willing to reread, write short answers, check, and revise when needed. ✓ You are willing to let EnjoyBible give you less help as your confidence grows. It may be better to wait if... • You mainly want quick explanations without doing the study yourself. • You do not want to write or review any of your own work. • You want AI, videos, teachers, or model answers to do the first thinking for you. • Your main concern is finishing quickly or receiving a certificate. 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. YOUR DECISION 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. “I understand that this course may sometimes feel slow or demanding and will take about 20 hours in total. I am willing to read carefully, write, think, check, and revise. I will make my own Bible-based attempt before turning to outside help. I understand that I must complete and pass the final Open-Book Course Review. There is no certificate. I still genuinely want to learn how to study the Bible carefully for myself.” 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. Complete the Course Registration and Contact Form, read the privacy note on the form, and begin when you are ready.

Before You Decide to Join 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 it may feel slower than expected 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. A video-first lesson may feel like WATCH → UNDERSTAND → MOVE ON EnjoyBible will often ask you to 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.

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.

We will ask you to look first and make your own first attempt. BIBLE FIRST → MY OWN FIRST WORK → HELP IF NEEDED → BACK TO THE BIBLE Otherwise, it is easy to receive a good answer while the skill itself stays weak. Why the practice matters What We Hope Begins to Change At first: “Where do I begin?” With practice: “I know what to look for and what kind of question to ask next.” As confidence grows: “I can test whether what I think fits the passage and use help more wisely.” Over time: “I can open a passage and begin without waiting for someone to tell me every next step.” The dream was never to make you dependent on EnjoyBible.

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.

Longer pages are divided into Learning Blocks, with Selah Breaks at genuine stopping points. The Hebrew word Selah appears repeatedly in the Psalms and three times in Habakkuk 3. Its exact meaning is uncertain. It seems to have been a musical or liturgical marker, perhaps signalling an interruption, interlude, or change in rendering. EnjoyBible does not use Selah as though it simply means “pause and reflect.” We borrow the name for a natural interval after meaningful study, where you can stop and later return at a clear next step.

Before You Decide to Join 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 it may feel slower than expected 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. A video-first lesson may feel like WATCH → UNDERSTAND → MOVE ON EnjoyBible will often ask you to 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 know your week may already be full We Have Tried to Build This Around Real Learners If you are studying Classes, assignments, exams, projects, placements, friendships, fellowship, travel, and digital distraction may already fill your week. If you are working 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. Clear InstructionsKnow what to do and where to write. Learning BlocksWork through one meaningful unit at a time. Selah BreaksPause at a genuine stopping point and return later. Help When StuckAsk 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. One habit matters throughout the course 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. BIBLE FIRST → MY OWN FIRST WORK → HELP IF NEEDED → BACK TO THE BIBLE Otherwise, it is easy to receive a good answer while the skill itself stays weak. Why the practice matters What We Hope Begins to Change At first: “Where do I begin?” With practice: “I know what to look for and what kind of question to ask next.” As confidence grows: “I can test whether what I think fits the passage and use help more wisely.” Over time: “I can open a passage and begin without waiting for someone to tell me every next step.” 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. Know the commitment before you begin 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. Read this part carefully before you decide 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? You are probably ready to begin if... ✓ You genuinely want to learn to study Scripture for yourself. ✓ You are willing to open your Bible and use a PBS Notebook. ✓ You will make your own first attempt before looking for answers. ✓ You are willing to practise, revise, pause, and return when life interrupts. It may be better to wait if... • You mainly want quick explanations of Bible passages. • You do not want to write, practise, or revise. • You want AI, commentaries, videos, or model answers to do the first work. • Your main concern is finishing quickly or obtaining the certificate. 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.
