This isn't a religion blog but an investing blog, so I only trot stuff out like this about once every 200 posts. For those who want to know my religious views in depth, you can visit the two personal links on my front page.

I finally found a 1980 copy of the Readers Digest Bible. No, its not a "small" book. It is actually the Bible written in story format and makes it far easier to read and understand. The maps are extremely intersting, as well. I am amazed at how much information I missed from the King James version simply because I didnt understand the language, context or geography.

Seriously, that's a great list, and I hope that it is a real help to people who haven't discovered the wonderful variety included in the Bible. As for me, often times, I'll just open it, see where God leads me, and amazingly enough, the particular chapter/verse/passage will prove relevant to whatever is occurring in my life at that time. God bless you and all of the readers of your blog. Merry Christmas, Steve David,
