Elder Gene R. Cook shares personal insights he has gained through his lifelong study of the standard works and conveys his deep affection for the word of God.

Engaging his fireside participants in a comfortable and informal dialogue, Elder Cook tells how to search and understand the scriptures. He explains why we must prepare our hearts before reading and describes how to discern the voice of the Lord in the sacred verses.

More than a lecture, Personal Scripture Study is a practical lesson in which Elder Cook demonstrates

How to identify scriptural patterns
How to mark and cross-reference key ideas
How to ask questions while reading

A printed summary of these principles is included with the tapes.

By applying these principles in our study of the scriptures, we are able to enjoy the guidance of the Holy Spirit and thus receive personal revelation.

A companion tape entitled Family Scripture Study illustrates how parents can use scripture study to assist in converting their children to the Lord.

One of my favorites!

Cathy, UT - July 23, 2011

I have had this talk for many years and have listened to it probably at least 15 times. I did it again today, and have to say that it still motivates me and renews my desire to study the scriptures more diligently. Elder Cook has spent a lifetime studying the Lord's words and loves the scriptures with all his heart! In his classic, humble way, he shares many personal stories and gives concrete suggestions and insights on how we can have more personal, inspiring, life-changing time in our own study. I highly recommend this talk if you are wanting to get more out of the scriptures! His talk on family scripture study is also wonderful!
