Which book of the Bible do you suggest one study for the first time?
My 13yo ds has expressed his own desire to begin a personal study of the Bible but isn’t sure where to begin. We recently purchased Balancing the Sword as a study tool.
Which book of the Bible would you encourage your dc to start with and why?
Not sure of just one but the book of John because it’s a beautiful picture of how Jesus sees a need and meets the need. Daniel, or 1 and 2 Timothy for young men. Ephesians for spiritual warfare. Romans for the gospel message to be solidified.
Our pastor preached a baccalaureate service this past Sunday (no hser’s in the group). Just before the sermon he gave each of the seniors a Bible. Part of his sermon was encouraging them to read the Bible daily while in college. He suggested they begin with 1 John and then go to the Gospel of John.
You can’t go wrong with any of them…even though you might want to steer him away from Song of Soloman (Songs) 🙂 at this point in time. Save that one for later.
