Practical! Light Bulbs Exploding provides a clear, concise, and easy-to-follow and understandable approach to the who, what, when, why, how, and benefits of using modified inductive Bible studies. The book explains how this approach can be transformative in people's lives as they interact with God's Word, the Holy Spirit, others, and prayer. It also includes two suggested outlines for Bible studies using the books of 1 John and Malachi. --Mark Lowrey, Founder, Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) As one of the University of Florida students who was in the first inductive Bible study that Rod taught there almost forty years ago, I profited immensely from being under his knowledge and teaching. I realize as I am reading this book that my own personal Bible study, as well as the methods and ideas that I use when I lead Bible-study groups, stem largely from the teaching and methods I learned way back then as a new believer and student of the Word! I highly endorse this book for those who want to study the Bible and lead others into understanding its truths. --Wendy Howell Thomas, Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) Participant I have known Rod for over forty-five years . . . fifty-five counting little league baseball. Working together as RUF campus ministers, it was our firm conviction that small-group Bible studies were/are the lifeblood of a campus ministry. We have since discovered the same is true of the local church. I wish I had this book in hand years ago. Rod helps the reader to understand both the importance of modified inductive Bible study and the tools needed to be an effective Bible-study leader. Light Bulbs Exploding needs to be in the hands of every pastor and church leader wanting their people to experience the Bible coming alive in a small-group context. --Hal Farnsworth, Founder of RUF at Vanderbilt University The practical benefit of this work is in the application of the principles to the books of 1 John and Malachi. The principles and structure of the modified inductive method of Bible study are clearly demonstrated with a model that can be followed. --Richard P. Belcher Jr., Reformed Theological Seminary
