When talking to the new group of Christians I would start by explaining the importance of a Bible Study toolbox. In the beginning of Chapter 11 of Everyday Bible Study Cartwright talks about how crucial it is to have a good working toolbox. There are many different tools you should have to start but the one that stands out to me the most is an Illustrated Bible Dictionary. A bible Dictionary provides a brief discussion on important people, places, and things found in the scriptures (Cartwright & Hulshof, p. 62). I think that this tool is very effective due to the fact that it really helps you understand the scriptures and gives you a quick overview of the topic you’re reading (Cartwright & Hulshof, p. 62).
