The Most Thrilling, Life-Changing Book Ever
Lavern Gingerich
What would drive a person to invest countless hours reading, studying, meditating on, and memorizing the words of a book that was written thousands of years ago?
Publishers are constantly turning out brand new best-sellers. Why not stay with what's current? After all, don't we know more today with all our technology and inventions than they did back then?
How can one book, a compilation of writings from 40 different people, including even lowly shepherds and ignorant fisherman, have any attraction to us today? Don't we have all the books we need? And a current edition for each one, written by professionals in their fields?
Yet lots of people are so enthused about this book, they are consumed with it. They read it every morning and throughout the day. They think about it while they work. They memorize large portions of it. Some people have even taken on the challenge of memorizing hundreds of pages in this book! Can you imagine the amount of time and discipline it would take to meet a challenge like that?
Why do people have such a craving for this Book? This Book has a special message from God in it. Job said he values the words of God's mouth more than his necessary physical food. As physical food feeds our bodies, so God's words nourish our souls. People who are hungry for God's words recognize the vital importance of feeding their souls, just like Job did.
In this Book, there is a life-changing message from God especially for you! It's for everyone, yet it's personal—for you. God had some of his servants write it down many years ago. Even though evil men have tried their best down through the ages to totally destroy every trace of this special message, God made sure it was preserved for you. Today this message is still around, and it's the most popular book in the world, a best-seller.
This book I am talking about is called the Holy Bible. You've likely seen it around for years. Maybe you've heard lots of talk about the Bible, but to you it's just another book. Maybe your Bible just sits on the shelf collecting dust. My friend, it's not just another book! Be assured, it's the most important book you will ever read! It's the most thrilling, life-changing book that has ever been written!
In many countries, we can freely own Bibles and openly read and study them any time we want to, while in other parts of the world, thousands of Christians do not have this opportunity. Today you can hold a Bible in your hand, but soon this freedom may be taken from you.
What are you doing with this precious gift God has given to you? Do you treasure the words of God's mouth? You should spend time hiding God's words in your heart, where no one can take them away! Invest time in reading, studying, meditating on, and memorizing God's words. You will reap rewards greater than you can imagine as you learn to follow Jesus through God's message to you in the Bible! You will never regret the time you spend studying God's Word.
God's longing is that you treasure the words of His mouth and let them become a part of you. Today is your chance to start digging into the treasures of the Bible and learning more about God's plan for your life. I want to help you get started by sending you free step-by-step instructions on how to memorize Psalm 1, a chapter of the Bible. It's short and fairly easy to memorize. Yet its message is powerful.
