Literally bought a bible a couple of weeks back. Tried reading front to back but it’s difficult. Started with Genesis, then finished half of Exodus, moved to the book of Matthew. Then back to Exodus.
Idk if i’m doing it right. But I’m feeling compelled to read more. I don’t know how or when i’m supposed to feel this insane incomprehensible love everyone else seems to feel.
But i try every day ti read some pages. Some days I don’t others I read 15-20 pages
If the style of language is giving you problems (I'm thinking King James version here), then perhaps another translation would be better suited to you. Go back to the bookstore and sample them. There are some that are in modern English and are quite readable, such as the New International Version (NIV). It's better to find a version you'll read, than one you won't. Once you've wet your chops, you can always switch back the the more difficult read. The important thing is to just start reading and keep on reading.
Best wishes, fren!
I got the NIV. The only thing I knew about Bibles were that there were many different ones and some didn’t tell the whole story, some were missing pieces. so I didn’t know where to go
The NIV is a good choice. It's my favorite. The translation is supposed to be from the original documents, and not a translation of a translation.
