No, but I grew up in a home where heard all the time about the Father and His son. I grew up with stories from the Old Testament, so once I learned to read, they became familiar friends….there are parts of the OT I find difficult but most of that is the Law. I’m reading Hosea right now….an awesome love story….to show His love for Israel, the Father has His prophet Hosea marry a prostitute..and then she leaves him and has 3 children with other men and the Father tells him to go get her and bring her home as His wife.

try reading a conservative translation of a summary of each book. That will give you an overview. Then as needed you can develope more information and have a basic knowledge of each book. Zondervan press (N I V) study bible may help. Some of that information is difficult to maintain a high interest. Did you ever find the Bible that was lost?

No. How could you feel sleepy getting through that awful faerie tale. God kills over 2 million people in it. That would be like sleeping through the Holocaust.

In China,You make the world a better place just by being in it!
What a joy you are to the Lord.
Have you ever heard of Watchman Nee?
He was a very devoted man of God who saved many many people in China and elsewhere around the world.
He was inprisoned for his faith and lived the last 20 years of his life in a Chinese Prison.
All he had to do to be set free was denounce Jesus.
But he never did.
He has many books of which I own most of and I highly recommend them to someone who is new to the faith.
"The normal Christian Life" by Watchman Nee is an excellent book.Also "The spiritual man" is another good book and "Finest of the Wheat".
He is responsible for many books that were written and all of them are excellent.
But to answer your question I don’t really get sleepy reading the old testament.I love reading the bible especially Proverbs because it teaches wisdom and understanding.
Peace be with you my brother and God bless you always.
Love, your sister in Christ
Adelaide.

I have read it several times, in several versions. It is just like Alex in A Clockwork Orange says it is.

When I want to read fiction, Tom Clancy is more fun.

I have never made it through reading the entire Bible, however many times I tried when I was young. Now I have long since stopped trying, and just look up passages when I want to discuss something. But then, I am not a Christian.
