Bible Question: Need help to get into the bible |
Bible Answer: Hi, I started to read Christian books 1st for e.g Derek Prince's books where scriptures were given for whatever topic is being done. I would strongly recommend Foundations for Righteous Living by Derek Prince. Then I would refer to the bible to get a better context. So you can say that I'm jumping here and there as far as scriptures is concerned. I tried to read Genesis first but like the Lord of the Rings which I got lost at epilog, I found it very hard to read. However, I believe God had made things easier for me. Audio Bible. I'm a far better listener than a reader and so I was listening to the bible cd when I'm traveling in my car thru traffic jams and in no time, I've finished with OT and the 4 Gospels.( Faith comes by hearing, and hearing of the Word?) The 4 gospels were easier to understand but I had a change in mindset after reading/listening to Paul's epistles. I also believe that listening to past sermons (from my church as well as others) which had been taped will eventually get you to read the bible as you will be slowly slowly but surely being drawn to seek the Word just as I did. Just sharing my experience although it may not be the correct way. |
