“Which book could you read over and over again, and why?

The Lift-Out (magazine) called CULTURE Your Arts & Entertainment Lift-Out (Sunday Star Times, June 5, 2011) has on page three a number of questions. There is a picture of Sarah Tetro and she is answering seven questions.

I am very much interested in question number three.

The question is:

Which book could you read over and over again, and why?

What a good question! What would YOU answer?

Let me give you my answer to that question:

The book I could read over and over again is the BIBLE. In fact I have read the Bible already several times from the beginning to the end, from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation, every word.

Why could I read the Bible over and over again?

The BIBLE is not like any other book on the book shelf for me. The Bible is alive for me. The BIBLE became alive for me when I came from death to life, from darkness to light.

The BIBLE is food for me.

In Matthew 4:4 the Lord Jesus Christ says:

“‘PEOPLE DO NOT LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT COMES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD.'”
