▾LibraryThing recommendations  1 2witybe: I love reading the Holy Bible and the international version, it breaks words down more so you can understand. It offers me hope in a hopeless world, and’ that there is more to life than what we see or experience day to day; that there was, and still is a spiritual realm around us, which is God and His son Jesus, long before mankind was even created. The Bible informs us that we were created, and did not just appear or form here. It even gives us hope in our death if we believe. Directing us to what is good, and that there is goodness always present, and to what is evil, and why there is evil always present as well. The Holy Bible to me is the Spirit of God reaching down through an infinite expanse of time, using mankind; the prophets of old, touching generations of people, enlightening those who will hear and believe, so that they may help others who will receive and believe. Otherwise without the Holy Bible we all might have been agnostic and generations would have been oblivious about God. The Bible is a light in a very dark world’ that is relentlessly getting darker. Everyone should give it a read in their life rather you’re a believer or not. I give The Holy Bible five stars, nothing else on this planet offers such hope in life and death in this crazy world we live in.… (more)

| First words |
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Bibliographical introduction. Mainly, no doubt, because of the predominance of French as the language of educated people in England from the time of the Norman Conquest until the middle of the fourteenth century, the Bible, as a whole, remained untranslated into English until the last years of the life of Wyclif. | |

| Quotations |
In the beginning was the Word, & the Word was with God, and the Word was God. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 For by gace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 For God so loved ye world, that he gave his only begotten Sonne: that whosoever beleeveth in him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. | |

I read it with the application Stanza on my iPhone; I read a few screenfuls at a time while queuing or otherwise waiting. Or while going to sleep, since the screen can be even dimmer than my booklight and the device turns off when inactive (that is, when I'm finally asleep).
I own two physical volumes of the Bible: the one I was given at the church I was reared in, and this linked one, because I wanted a King James version. I chose the Cambridge U edition because as the recipient of my money at least it's an academic institution as well as a seminary.
I'm looking forward to Psalms and Ecclesiastes. So far it's been mostly Begats, Why We're Better Than Everybody Else, and Land Assessment and Surveying. It hasn't shown much magnificent language, appreciation of which is why I'm reading it.
