THE HOLY BIBLE
Did you know that the Bible is the all-time best seller and most widely read book in the world. The Bible is quoted more often than any other piece of literature and has had more influence on our language, customs, traditions, laws than other book ever published.
Yet there are many people who seldom, if ever, read the Bible.
Why?
Many people assume that the Bible's language is too difficult for the average person to understand. Other are a little frightened by the Bible's size, and some people just don't expect to find anything in the Bible that applies to needs and problems of men and women in the 21 century.
The size of the Bible can be a little intimidating. It is a big book or a small library. The Bible is made up of 66 smaller books written over a period of hundreds of years.
