The Word

One of the most amazing descriptions of the Bible that I've ever read.
From the Spring Harvest website:

"It’s time we stopped seeing the Bible as a book. It’s 66 volumes by more than three-dozen authors to make a little library. It’s a repository of reference; a Treasure-chest of truth; a library of lives. 
The Bible holds together with remarkable consistency and strength. Core themes run like rivers through the texts. Questions asked in ages past are answered in dreams of the future. Promises made in times of need are fulfilled in times of grace."
And why it's so important to read:
"Biblical direction for the road we travel, will equip you to better understand the Bible, to better apply its teachings and to better live out the powerful call of the Spirit who broods and breathes within its pages."
So true! And so inspiring! (Normally, I would not consider myself an exclamation mark user, however 'the Spirirt who broods and breathes within its pages' is so ridiculously exciting!)

I love my bible.
This video on 'Why the bible?' also sums things up really well, as to why we should trust it.

Ravi Zacharias- if you haven't heard of this guy, look him up. His wisdom is phenomenal. 
 p.s. (skip to 2:24, the stuff before that is about philosophy and can be confusing)
