In 10 Principles for Studying the Bible, readers are taught the ten tried-and-true methods Dr. Charles Stanley uses when he studies the Bible.

Learning how to read and study His Word is essential to spiritual growth. 10 Principles for Studying the Bible teaches readers the ten most essential aspects of a rich, personal encounter with God through His Word. Readers will quickly discover that the Bible is a doorway to life's greatest blessings, that it leads straight into the throne room of God where you grow in your knowledge of Him, His ways, and His eternal promises. .

Living, Studying, and Working in Italy: Everything You Need to Know to Live La Dolce Vita
The title of Living, Studying and Working in Italy says it all: this book is intended for would-be expatriates with an eye for Italy. The authors have both had extensive experience living and working in the Bel Paese--Neighbor was in Florence for four years while Larner still lives in Rome, where she is a journalist for Business Week. Together they have pooled their experiences and collective knowledge of living abroad to address the practical side of living, working, or studying in Italy. The first thing you might notice about this book is that it lacks references to Italy's great art, popular tourist sites, and best hotels. But remember, this is no ordinary guidebook--leave the tourist stuff to others and let Neighbor and Larner take you on a tour of everyday life as an expatriate in Italy. Here you'll find information about taking language courses and teaching English, volunteering for archeological digs, and starting a business. There are plenty of practical tips about visas, banking, residency requirements, and--alas!--taxes. There are lists of language schools, volunteer opportunities, and internship programs as well as information about freelance, part-time, and full-time employment opportunities. In short, this guidebook extraordinaire might just be an expatriate's best friend in Italy..
