Rediscovering the Bible
Recently I've been reading alot, some brill books on my shelf like 'In the grip of grace' by Max Lucado and another book called 'Undescoved' about peoples lives being changed by finding Christ, but I never realised that the Bible was such a good read. When I was young I always described the Bible as being a big bunch of boring pages with boring stories. Was I wrong or what?! I've only been reading the Bible properly sice after 'Reachout' and it's been such a challenge to me, I purchased the Youth Bible 2 weeks ago and it's been my best purchase for a long time. In my quiet times I've had a great opportunity to have a good sit down and read many passages, one book in particular which has challenged me is 2 Corinthians, it really relates to me and answers questions which I'm having as a new christian. One passage which really caught me while I was reading it in church is 2 corinthians 5v11-15, its quite long so I'll not write it down.
Now as a commited christian I know how important it is to have the Bible in our lives, it is a chance for us to discover amazing things about our God and a place to go where we need answers for basically anything we do in our lives. It's definately on the top of the list of the books I read now.
Oh yeah and it's been 5 days since I posted my last post, I'm slipping!!

Totally agree with you on the reading scene. The bible is awesome, I read it through from cover to cover recently through a "bible in a year" challenge Ros setup. It was the first time I had read many of the books of the bible, especially Old Testament. So many valuable lessons in there, always so much to learn.
Also good christian books are such a blessing, the Max Lucado book you mention totally transformed my life as I studied it with a group of other guys.
Anyway great to hear how God's at work in your life.

Hey Justy!
Glad you're getting into the bible. It's a class book to read and I love the way you can read even a familiar passage and God teaches you different things through it every time!

Hey Justy!
Really encouraged by your post about how good a read the Bible is!! Your so right!! Its so easy to take it for granted and just pick it up when we feel we 'need' it! I know Ive been struggling a bit to get back into bible reading regularly! But I want to! So heres praying God will help me really get back into reading his word!
God Bless
