Summary

"Pleasure & Profit in Bible Study" by Dwight Lyman Moody is a spiritual manual instructing readers on methods for advantageous Bible study. The book highlights how critical immersing oneself in the Bible is for believers, suggesting that thoughtful and frequent study enriches the understanding and enjoyment of Christian faith. Moody sets out to motivate believers to treasure the Word of God, accentuating how critical realistic understanding is for spiritual maturity and service to God. Moody begins by expressing his love for studying the Bible and noting its crucial impact on sustaining faith. He compares regular study to other activities, arguing against shallow religious habits that aren't supported by scriptural understanding, and indicates that simply going to church events isn't enough without a real motivation to understand the Bible thoroughly. Moody urges creating strong associations with fellow Christians for support and emphasizes that real peace and power come from frequent scriptural engagement, which gives necessary direction for handling life's difficulties.

About the Author

Dwight Lyman Moody, also known as D. L. Moody, was an American evangelist and publisher connected with Keswickianism, who founded the Moody Church, Northfield School and Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts, Moody Bible Institute, and Moody Publishers. One of his most famous quotes was "Faith makes all things possible... Love makes all things easy." Moody gave up his lucrative boot and shoe business to devote his life to revivalism, working first in the Civil War with Union troops through YMCA in the United States Christian Commission. In Chicago, he built one of the major evangelical centers in the nation, which is still active. Working with singer Ira Sankey, he toured the country and the British Isles, drawing large crowds with a dynamic speaking style.
