Read the Best Book...
by Peter F Whyte, 10 Jan 2008
This year is a National Year of Reading in England.
It's good to read, though not everything printed is good. When I was a child we used to sing a song "The best book to read is the Bible", and however simple the song the Bible is indeed the best book anyone can read. It's not just the Good Book, it really is the Best Book.
The start of any year is a time when people make resolutions, and one that is often made, but frequently broken by this stage in the year, is to read through the whole Bible in a year or less. But you needn't give up too readily if you plan properly. If you would like to take up the challenge, or renew your zeal for a flagging resolution, then you'll find lots of suggestions on plans that could help you make it the year you actually do read the whole Bible through on the Just for Starters: The Bible page. It has been updated with lots of additional resources, so if you have looked at it in the past, check out the sidebar for something extra. And for general reading, check out the updated Reading Resources page.
