Book review #1

By
So the bible has 1,281 pages, 66 books and 1,189 chapters. Pretty big, right? Now don't get me wrong I love reading long books and don't shy away from it, but I must admit I was scared with how big the bible is. I just had no idea where to start and was a bit intimidated with how long it is. But recently I've heard people my age tell me how they've started getting into the bible and how amazing it is once you get started.

So this leads me to wanting to experience this great book too. So i looked around on the internet on the best ways to "start" reading it. The most common answer was to do bible studies, section by section. As this way you get to know individual stories, characters and what god is trying to say. A while back this year i was given a bible study book from the "engage" series. So i got this out and went to page 1, got my notebook, and bible out and started. After doing one i was suddenly hooked and wanted to do all of them there and then. The enthusiasm and rush I had after reading it was immense and I'm so thankful we have gods word to read on paper in English.

So the point of this blog is a review on a 5/5 star rated book i have recently started, The bible. So you know what to do now. Yup, go on, pick up your bible and get reading.
READY...
SET...
GOO!

Just in your prayers don't forget to thank god for what you've read and learned through his words. Also it's a great way to build a community with your fellow brothers and sisters, just challenge or ask them if you're stuck.

Comparision

By
So i guarantee everyone reading this has compared themselves to another person or object at least once. Comparison is very common in teenagers especially, but most of us do it. In a way it is only part of our instincts as we all get envious, but it is also really unhealthy. If you're constantly wishing to be something else, then you can't really ever love yourself can you? Then how do you expect somebody else too if you can't. There is a fine line between passively saying "I like her hair I wish mine fell like that" and saying "I like her hair, why can't I be like her. she's so much of a better person than me". There will be times where you will be jealous of somebody's appearance or their talent or personality etc. But their qualities or skills do not define your qualities or skills. What I mean by that Is just because somebody's qualities are high, it doesn't make you any better than them or any worse. Nobody can compare themselv

Are books losing popularity?

By
Are books losing popularity?  So personally i believe they are. Now let me explain my reasons why. So many years ago before technology most people would read books as a pastime out of enjoyment. Now that color TV'S, mobile phones and the internet are around less and less people are reading books. Also a high number of the population would prefer to watch the film as it's easier and requires less concentration. This means that the majority of people my generation (Late 1990's+) are just not interested in reading in fear of looking uncool and like a "nerd". Now obviously it is in the curriculum to read when you first start school, so most people can actually read they just chose not too. Me being an avid reader and lover of books cannot see this nonsense. but unfortunately it's the truth of today's society. So my second reasoning is fairly similar to the first as it's also down to technology. So i'm sure you've all heard of E-readers and ki

Religion...

By
Now I know religion is quite a conversational subject as every body has their own beliefs due to free will. But I would like to just explain it from my own belief and what I think on the matter. The religion I follow and believe in is Christianity and I have done for the past 8 months. Being a christian is a huge part of my daily life and I take pride in the fact I have a father as amazing as god. It's so reassuring to me that one day I will be reunited with god in heaven after serving him here on earth for many years. It saddens me that people get mocked, beaten up, even killed for believing and serving god. Most Christians mean no harm to anyone and all they wish to do is praise gods creations and spread the word of his gospel. Within my church family I know some pretty amazing people and I've had the pleasure of appearing in their lives due to god and I find that phenomenal that one god can have so much power. I believe that god gave his only son away to forgive the sins o
