This was my very first bible, purchased in 1996. I didn't quite understand it at first. I tried to read it from time to time, but I had "other" things that occupied my attention. YOU get that way when you're living in survival mode, couple with control issues.
In 1997, I because a Muslim. For 10 quiet years. Didn't understand that either....
In 2008, Jesus wooed me into a loving relationship with Him. Upon receiving the gift of salvation, the bible came to life for me. He is the bread of life and the living water. MY LIFE IS #PROOF!
