This warmed my heart to hear. Keep it up. Acts and Romans are your friends.
Avoid Revalations at least for now. Sure, people say go for it, but it is so loaded with Prophecy, it really isn't for the beginner reader. At best it will confuse you. Worst it can frighten and turn you away. Needs to be read with discernment.
If you want a really good read, try Job (pronounced jobe, long o, silent e).
Talks about why evil is allowed to exist. Sad story, but bittersweet ending.
The living Bible is easy to read , it was once labeled the hippie Bible because it has down to earth easy words for teens or school drop outs like many of us ! It is easy to understand and it is a respected translation for youths and adults alike ! But the fact that you have a hunger is A man after Gods heart ! Ask the Lord to expand your reading comprehension. I've heard many testimonies from men who weren't able to read at all and God taught them himself He opened their minds to the mind of Christ and taught them to read overnight, amazing testimonies.
You blessed my heart , God bless you my friend, we are all His children , go to Him as one , He's our father and will teach you His word . Please keep us posted on your progress as you search His word!
I also.. though I have read the bible in the past.. rereading it helped me understand both whats happening and the bible itself..
I enjoy the Book of Isiah..
I AM a doomer.. or at least I am until I get some Dave.. then Im ok again.. thats the magic OF Dave...

u/schlecta5614 can you help?
I would suggest the NASB. Its easy to read and viewed pretty well in Christian communities
Add Ecclesiastes to your list. On face value,c writer appears like the ultimate doomer so you need to look for the deeper meaning of the book.
