The Good News Bible

The Bible is the Word of God. It contains 27 books in the New Testament and 39 in the Old Testament. It is one of the most selling books in the 21st Century and the more you read it, the more you will love it.
It was written by several authors from different backgrounds, varied professions and from different countries for a period of about two decades. Surprisingly, its one book with the same theme: "The creation, the downfall and the redemption of the human race" from Genesis to Revelation.
"It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword and the Christian character. Read it to be wise believe it to be safe and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you and comfort to cheer you. The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding its stories are true and its decisions are immutable." (Gideons).
Go forth, at one time in his life had read the Bible 35 times and by his death he had read the New Testament 73 times. He confessed before he died "I am ever wishing I could spend several hundred years at the Bible."
Most manufacturers provide manuals to guide their customers on how to operate the bland new machines. Likewise the Bible is the Creator's manual and contains all the necessary guidelines required to operate the most complicated machine in the world, the human being.
