- encouragements,
- scoldings,
- poetry and songs,
- stories (about good people and bad people, and the consequences of their choices),
- illustrations,
- sermons,
- and even miracles.
It's for everyone: men, women and children, married, single and widowed, old and young, country folk and city people, plain and PhD'd, saint and sinner.
You may be bogged down with a lot of books and online sources and worksheets and mailings and e-mailings and daily readers - but you can have it all in one, and, bless you, you've already got one or two in your house, and you can find it online, too: it's the Holy Bible!
Find one small enough to carry with you for reading in the elevator or waiting room.
Put one by your bedside and in your bathroom reading shelf.
Get one that's got a dictionary/concordance in it, if you doubt your own research skills.
Pick one up in another translation to compare and find deeper, more beautiful, broader and more specific meanings.
Find a local Bible study group (they're everywhere) to go even further in your understanding and appreciation, as well as to get encouragement to keep on reading and growing every day.
Cover it with your favourite wall paper or wrapping paper to match your room.
Copy out thoughts on your own choice of paper, napkin, notebook or arm, for re-reading and memorizing throughout the day or week.
Take notes right on the pages!
If you need a copy of the Bible, know that it's the world's best selling book, so you're likely to find it anywhere; just find your local church, and even if they don't practice everything within it's pages, more than likely they will have a book for you to take home and keep.
Maybe you were looking for a blog or a book or an e-mailing or an online group, because you think you need them. They can be a help - for sure! - but this book has got everything you need.
Pick one up today!
