I heard a quote on EWTN"S program "Journey Home" this week. A Norwegian Catholic priest, in giving his testimony as to how he became a Christian, said, "I found that I began to prefer God's words to human words."  I had always loved to read and discover beautiful ideas in my reading, but when I began to read the Bible, when words in this book began to jump out at me, telling me what was going in the depths of my soul, I realized no earthly book could ever have this kind of power. There was Spirit behind this book. I had read great books before, and they were stimulating to my intellect. But this book stimulated the very depths of my existence. No one on this earth could know what this Bible was telling me. It nailed directly on the head my innermost feelings, desires, thoughts, attitudes, fears, worries, whatever was going on in me; these words touched me.
Why not give it a try? Read this book. What can you lose?  But I believe that if you try reading it, say the book of Ephesians, or the Gospel of John,  and read it until you experience it, you will never want to put it down. God bless... Jen
