HOW TO GET MORE FROM READING THE BIBLE - What Will Make It Interesting?

 Boring?  Or refreshing?  What will Bible reading be for you?  Much depends on how you approach your reading.  Let us take a look at what you can do to increase your interest and enjoyment.

Select a reliable, modern-language translation.   If you read material  that contains  a great many difficult or out-of-date words that you do not know, you are not likely to enjoy reading it. So look for  a Bible that is easy-to-understand language that will touch  your heart.  At the same time, though, it should be carefully and accurately translated." 

Use modern technology.  Today the Bible is available not only as a bound, printed book, but also as a digital book. Some Bibles can read online or downloaded for personal reading on computers, tablets or cell phones.  Certain versions include additional tools that allow you quickly to check other Bible verses on the same topic or even compare several translations.  If you prefer to listen rather than to read, the Bible is also available in recorded form.  Many people enjoy listening while they commute by public transportation, do laundry, or engage in some other activity that permits listening. Why not try a method that suits you?
