My take on the Bible - thoughts of a believer.

A lot of readers find the subject of the Bible a little uncomfortable and question, in their disbelief of God, the relevance of a book like this in their lives, and that many readers may also question my right to review such a book. I am not going to review in the traditional way, i.e. contents, length, price, etc., too much at all. For me, the importance of telling people a little more about how I believe it can enhance their lives, is far more important.

You could ask yourself if I am significant enough a writer to be able to write a review about such a great book, and here I would argue that the Bible was written for everyone, and without going into the intricacies of the Bible in a "Bible thumping" manner, if I pursuade one person to read it and to change their view about what the Bible offers an individual, then I will have achieved my purpose.

I have researched a lot about what people think of the Bible, and there are those who bore us to death with origins, and theories, and even those who believe that the Bible actually proves that there is no God. Research it yourself and you will see what I mean. I have spoken to many Americans online, who shout "Praise be" and make all the right noises, and then live their lives outside of rules of decency that I actually believe are part of who I am. Read the questions below and see if you are a person that the Bible could help.

Have you ever helped out a stranger ?
Have you ever been helped out by a stranger ?
Have you ever question life changing events ?
Have you ever believed that there is no God ?
Have you ever believed that God is indeed a reality ?

Whichever category of person you find that you are, the Bible has relevance for you. It is not a book that is easy to read like fiction, and one of the most relevant things that I read in the Bible is that people are not supposed to translate the meaning of the Bible. The last page says that if you add to it, so will bad things be added to your life, and if you detract from it, so will things be detracted from your life. This is a pretty hefty warning as to what the Bible is about and a lot of people seem to have missed the point here somewhere.

To me, the Bible is a Menu for life. So, you don't believe that man was made and then woman created from the rib of a man, but have you ever thought that the book could have been written in a demonstrative way, demonstrating possibilities, from the creation of a human being
