Resources:

  • Seven Arrows: Aiming Bible Readers in the Right Direction is the book written by 7 Arrows developer/creator, Pastor Matt Rogers. Personally, I prefer the short “explainer videos” he did (as listed above)…but the book does have lots of detail and example. My preference is to keep the method as simple as possible (sorry Matt :).
  • I have enjoyed using my new CSB Notetaking Bible to record my 7 Arrows notes. *If I would have waited until October 2019 I could have gotten this nicer binding. I also really like this Pigma Micron 005 pen. It has a super fine tip and does not easily bleed through thin Bible pages. You can also buy these locally at a craft store like Hobby Lobby.
  • I am currently going through the 7 Arrows study with the couples Connection Group (small group) that I am a part of. We are reading about a chapter a week, taking notes, and reviewing them together each week. I am blogging my notes through this week to week from the beginning of September until February 16. You can find those notes here if you like. Our student (youth) small groups and college small groups are also going through John this way.
Here is my CSB Notetaking Bible and Pigma Micron 005 pen (on the left). I like to use a scrap piece of paper to get my 7 Arrows answers together before copying them to my Bible.
