REMINDER! You are invited to become an "editor" of this Cyberspace 2011 Study Bible Research website.
 
"Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia," invites any and everyone to "edit" its material on their website. I like the idea, even though I have never made an edit of their work..
 
Our Study Bible Research is also open to your "EDITS" (ideas) that can improve our attempt to enroll every Bible reader in a Bible RESEARCH approach to studying God’s Word. This five year old website is still unfinished. Your input is welcome to help refine it to the glory of God.
 
Here are some areas that an "Interactive Edit" would be most helpful to help us keep improving this Research Website. Welcome!
 
EDIT-1: 01 Home ~ "TARGET AUDIENCE" ~ Are you included in the target list? Help us refine the list.
 
EDIT-2: 02-A ~ Research Tutor Tips ~ "K.I.S.S. Study Method." Help us connect with the "Twitter 140" generation have asked me to "Keep-It-Super-Simple."
 
EDIT-3: 02-B ~ Seven Research Features ~ All of the lessons that date back to our 2007 website need to be and should be "Downloaded" need to be revised and up-dated. If you have "editing" instincts and wish to be appreciated for those skills, simply e-mail your suggestions to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
 
EDIT-4: 05 Researcher’s Feedback ~ You are invited to review the "Reading Records," Inspiring "Success Stories" about using a Study Bible", or you are invited to add to the list of the "2010 Website Review Encouragements."

These items will add interest and personalize the real life stories of people like you who have "been-there-and-done-that" in their experiences of learning how to regularly research God’s Word.

There are the 47 key LIFE OF CHRIST charts in the total series of the 265 LASB Research Charts. This LIST brings all the "GOLD NUGGETS" about the Life of Christ together for immediate access to charts that could take months or years to find on your own.

These charts can provide a month and a half of daily Bible Research Exercises for your personal enjoyment.  Or they can be divided up into four or five group Bible Study series of ten weeks.
