Many Bible Stories are not only Fun but Famous!

If I sat down to read 20 owner’s manuals from various electronic appliances in my house, I’d throw my hands up in frustration and quit. A better strategy might be to read only the parts of manuals that applied to any questions that I currently had.

Consisting of 66 mini books, the Bible is the owner’s manual for your life. Therefore, instead of reading it in one lump, you might want to pick the most interesting parts and read them first. Then, as you feel more adventurous, you could attack other portions.

Fun, but accurate and easy-to-read versions are The New Living Bible (AKA The Book) and The New Century Version (AKA New International Children’s Bible). A little more challenging to read, but very accurate is the New American Standard – NASB.

To help you better understand, say this simple prayer before starting to read. “Father God, your word in John 16:13 says; “however, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide me into all truth”. Therefore, I ask you to send Spirit of truth that I may be able to learn all you have for me in my Bible. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray. Amen.

Here are some short fun readings to get you started. You can read them in any order or look into a Concordance (usually found in the back of a Bible) to look up the topics in which you are interested. To find each book, look in the table of contents found in the first few pages (Books of the Bible) for the page numbers. When found, move forward to the appropriate chapter number.
