A Book For You?

Many people read books either to be entertained or to be informed, or perhaps for both reasons. The same can be true of reading the Bible. It can be uplifting, even entertaining reading. But the Bible is more than that. It is a unique source of knowledge.- Ecclesiastes 12:9, 10.

The Bible answers questions that humans have long pondered-questions about our past, and our future. Many wonder: Where did we come from? What is the purpose of life? How can we find happiness in life? Will there always be life on earth? What does the future hold for us?

The collective force of all the evidence presented here establishes clearly that the Bible is accurate and authentic. We have already considered how its practical counsel can help us to live meaningful and happy lives today. Since its answers about the present are satisfying, surely its answers about the past and its prophecies about the future are deserving of careful attention.
