“……….. IS A MUST READ.”

“If you love……………………, then this book is a must read.” 

“……………….. is a must read.”

That’s what authors say when they praise the works of other writers.

I say, “THE BIBLE IS A MUST READ!”

Why is the BIBLE a must read?

1. Because the HOLY SPIRIT is the author of the BIBLE.

2. Because our knowledge of God is found in the Scriptures.

3. Because the Word of God is the guide book to everlasting life.

4. Because the Bible IS the Word of God. It does not contain the Word of God.

Sir Walter Scott possessed a great libray. He was also the author of many books. He said, “THERE IS BUT ONE BOOK, THE BIBLE.”

“LOVE THE SKIN YOU’RE IN”

Youth Week finished today!

“Youth Week is all about recognising the amazing contributions and achievements of New Zealand’s youth! The week inspires our society to value, support, and affirm the diversity of its young people,” says the advertisement telling us about YOUTH WEEK.

The ad has a message for the young people and for the adults as well.

Here is the message for the adults:

“Be a positive role model. Value the efforts of young people. BE COMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN SKIN. Be open and understanding. Listen – really listen! ENCOURAGE YOUNG PEOPLE TO SHARE THEIR STORIES, AND SHARE YOUR OWN.  Be supportive. Build self-confidence. Empower young people. Praise and trust. Join in with the acticvities young people enjoy. Encourage and reassure. REACH OUT TO YOUNG PEOPLE. Ensure that young people know they are important, cared for, and loved. Be positive.”

WE ARE ENCOURAGED TO SHARE OUR OWN STORY.

You find my own story on this blog!

WE ARE ENCOURAGED TO REACH OUT TO YOUNG PEOPLE.

I don’t only want to reach out to young people, I want to reach out to everybody!

THE GREATEST BOOK!

“Great Books” is one department called in the September 2006 Reader’s Digest.

In the department “GREAT BOOKS , Spotlight On Shelf Life,” different people share ONE SPECIAL BOOK  from their bookshelves.

It has been my privilege to share one special book from my bookshelf on this blog again and again:

IT IS THE GREATEST BOOK, THE BIBLE, AND THE AUTHOR OF THE BIBLE IS THE HOLY SPIRIT.
