A great book isn't it! Some may call it a story & nothing else...but have you read it in it's entirety? So many scholars have tried to disprove it and failed. Quite a few of those who have tried to disprove it have become believers & even if they didn't become Christians, the attempt to disprove the Bible made them doubt their initial "doubt".

This "book" of books IS a great story, a guide to the way to live a honorable and good life, and will teach you about the greatest Man to ever walk this earth. For anyone who has not read the Bible, I challenge you this: Read it and tell me what you think. If you don't have one, I'll send you a NIV pocket version of the New Testament with Psalms & Proverbs.

For me, I tried to pick it up time and time again throughout my life. I had a copy of the King James version, then a New King James Version. I just couldn't follow along with the Shakespearian type language. Then one day I picked up either a New International Version (NIV) or English Standard Version (ESV) and all of a sudden I could read it. Was it that my level of maturity had grown enough to follow it or was it that I was more receptive...or the comforter? What I do know is that I had a void deep within my soul and this book lead/taught me to learn how to fill that void & become a better man. I'm far from perfect, but do strive to be a better person.

I bring up this controversial subject because there are some who do not believe in the Bible/God/Christ Jesus, but have not had an opportunity to read the Bible to really know what they are talking about & be objective. Knowledge is power anywhere in the world, educate yourself and tell me how reading and understanding the Bible has or has not influenced you one way or another...
