Although I am from China, nowadays, I am really getting interested in the Bible.
Sometimes, I feel that God is moving me towards ministry in my life. You konw, I want to learn the Bible front to back and know stories from the Bible so I can tell them to people when they are going through difficult times.
What are the best books to buy to help me with this and so it's something that I can understand.
Appreciate your reply. Happy myLotting.

this will surely be able to help you. it explain each & every book in the Bible in detail chapter by chapter. eg: what's the spiritual significance of each story you found in the Bible, how each book relates to one another even from Old Testament to New Testament, etc.
it is called The Life-Study of the Bible. you can purchase it or read it online: http://www.ministrybooks.org/life-studies.cfm

it is not something new. The Life-Study of the Bible is a series of books published to help believers to understand better about the Bible. it was written book by book & chapter by chapter with detail explanation from Old Testament until the end of New Testament. of course the whole Life-Study is based on the Bible itself, not on any other things or matters.

Nothing is a better book to know about God and his ways than the Bible. But you can try " My book of Bible stories" - Jehovah's witnesses publications for understanding the stories in a very simple language with Biblical quotes.

the bible explains itself. every book written that gives an explanation of the bible is the author's interpretation/opinion of it.
therefore when reading the bible to gain an understanding of it i beleive one should pray first asking for guidance and begin reading. the bible tell us not in these exact words maybe "who has eyes to see will see" my unerstanding of that is i will read an based on my level of understanding will understand it.
there is not one fixed meaning for the bible because based on your present frame of mind or situational experiences my interpretation and yours of the same verse would be different.
but if you feel you still in need of an assist read with the assistant text written BUT don't accept what is written in those other books as THE CORRECT thing.
blessings.

So far my knowledge on the version goes the 'Good News Bible" is the best for all. It is written in the modern English and the illustration are are quite comprehensible.

Once you find a bible you like I would myself get a book called a concordance that allows you to look and cross reference scriptures throughout the Bible. Alot of bible have their own concordance but if yours does not I would recommend getting one to use with the bible you choose to use. It will help you in understanding the bible alot more than just reading it alone.

Hi getbrowser. "Where to find it in the Bible", by Ken Anderson might an idea of what you are looking for. It is written in very plain english, and the alphabetized index is really good for finding specific topics. I have seen other ones along the same line, but I liked the simplicity of this particular one.

Hi there friend..
It's good to know that you have an interest about the Bible. I know it will help you
a lot to become spiritually mature. It will also help you to become a better
person.If you will read the story of Joseph the dreamer you can see there that God
works in mysterious way. He's plan is greater than what we have for our lives. The
story will really help you to understand that everything that happens into our
life has a great purpose. And all of the things good and bad works together for
good. Try to read the story of Abraham. You will see that God is really great and
he will never fail us if we follow His commands. You can read the Bible online you
can use the Biblegateway just add .com to it.. Happy lotting friend.. And God
Bless you..

since i feel the bible is only a guide and mostly made up stories i cant help ya much. i have read several versions of the bible and find it all misleading and selfindulged.
but if you want to learn the stories in a more simpler manner watch some of the movies made based on the bible there are some good dipictions in the movies. ie The 10 commandments- There are more easy to find even on the net.

Bible contains the Central Religious Texts of Judaism and Christianity. The bible itself is the book that teaches and guides us. Moreover to know indepth about Theology read these books which helps you alot "Britinica Encyclopedia books"
