Long before Bible study apps and reading plans, D. L. Moody calls believers back to the living power of Scripture. In Pleasure and Profit in Bible Study, this classic work of Moody on Bible Study shows that lasting spiritual growth comes through close, prayerful contact with God’s Word and a deliberate, purposeful approach to reading it.
With plainspoken stories and pastoral urgency, Moody warns against both “all work and no Word” and “all Word and no work,” demonstrating how faithful study strengthens communion with God, steadies the Christian life, and equips believers for earnest service.
Practical to the core, this timeless presentation of Moody on Bible Study lays out a clear method: ask better questions of every passage, persevere through difficulty, memorize Scripture, and learn to “feed yourself” in the Word—so Bible reading becomes more than a duty and grows into a life-shaping habit.
