The Bible.

I have been a christian since the early 1970's. Spent three years studying theology, 30 years in ministry, now semi-retired. In all this time have read and studied the Bible. I am amazed how archeology, science, ancient history, shows the Bible to be an accurate account of what we read in it.
I wont say which English translation is best, that is not a debate I want to get into. Personaly I use the King James Version for personal study, but all will have different preferances.
History teaches me, that many gave up their very lives so that I could have the Bible, and freedom to read it. Some nations in the past, USSR for instance, tried to stop its people having Bibles. Mmmmmm, this book has been hated, why? Simply because it reveals the sinfull hearts, and phylosophies, of men and women.
In it we definatly have a narrow road, for instance it states Jesus is the only way to God, no other way to the Father. You can imagine, some really dont like that bit!
I read it every day, study it, am helped by it. Can I recomend it to you? Its well worth the read.
