For anyone not used to regularly reading the Bible, the thought of starting to read it is akin to climbing a mountain. Where do you start? Perhaps you or someone you know has never read it. In that case, it would be important to know a little more about this best-selling book. In either case, help is here. To the right you’ll see the heading “Bible Overview.” Click on that and you’ll learn about the theme of the Bible and a capsule of each of the 66 books that make up this one awesome volume. It will provide great background, and perhaps one of the summaries in particular will grab your attention. You can start reading that book of the Bible.
As for how to read it, keep some colored pencils and a regular pencil handy. Highlight verses you like with the color pencils (markers tend to bleed through the pages). Use a regular pencil to write notes in the margins of your Bible. It also might help to keep a notebook handy to write your thoughts and observations as you read.
Just start reading the Bible somewhere. It will seem like less of a mountain adventure once you get started.
