My Personal Mission!
I'm on a huge personal mission to get the people of Great Lakes Church interested in reading the Bible. Of course, there are 101 challenges to doing this... but it's possible.
Yes, the Bible can be boring to read (especially if you know how the story ends), challenging to understand and written in a very archaic way. BUT - It has the potential to change your life IF you approach it with an open mind and refuse to let your feelings and opinions shape what you read.
So here's the first idea... purchase a Bible that is easy to understand! If you're into Shakespeare, I suggest the 1611 King James Bible. Our Fundamental Baptist friends will automatically think you're going to heaven for reading this version, but make sure to be wearing a suit and tie or a floor-length dress when you read it.
If you prefer something a little easier, I suggest the New Living Translation Life Application Study Bible!
Next, find a Bible reading plan that works for you! YouVersion is a great online tool that can help you with this!
If you know almost nothing about the Bible, or it's history, here are two great books to get you started:
A Book You'll Actually Read on the Old Testament
A Book You'll Actually Read on the New Testament
C'mon, you can do this!
