Understanding the scriptures

Alicia's tips to understanding the scriptures:
Start with a prayer and a desire to understand.
Accept that you may understand part of it without understanding all of it yet. Remember the bigger picture even if some details don't make sense.
Look words up in the Bible Dictionary or dictionary.
Use the Class Member Study Guide for the chapters you are reading.
Read a chapter from the scripture stories books, then read the chapters in the scriptures that the story came from.
You can also do the same with any other picture book or movie that was based on the scriptures like The Living Scriptures or VeggieTales.
