In the Christian faith, <\/span>the Holy Bible<\/span> is seen as a guidebook to leading a faithful\u00a0<\/span>life, an account of\u00a0<\/span>God\u2019s creation of\u00a0<\/span>the Earth from the very beginning,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span>\u00a0a\u00a0<\/span>narration of the miracles of Jesus Christ. It\u00a0<\/span>is a sacred book that holds a collection of ancient religious writings.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The many books in the Bible can seem intimidating at first.\u00a0<\/span>You might not know where to start<\/span>. Old Testament? New Testament? It can get confusing.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few steps to help you along the way.<\/h3>\n

Find a Bible Version that\u2019s Best\u00a0<\/span>f<\/span>or You\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • There are several versions to choose from. The King James Version and English Standard V<\/span>ersion are the most used. Pick one that\u2019s easiest for you to read and comprehend.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Start Anywhere!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Unlike other books, the Bible doesn\u2019t need to be read from very beginning. Start\u00a0<\/span>from any\u00a0<\/span>Gospel<\/span>, like Luke<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and go from there.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Annotate and Journal\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
        \n
      • See a line that resonat<\/span>es with you? Write it down! Mark pages with important passages\u00a0<\/span>and scriptures to read for later.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Dedication\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
          \n
        • Once you\u00a0<\/span>begin your journey, remain committed to finishing.\u00a0<\/span>Enjoy every passage and take time to understand the message behind it.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
