Psalms.
It is exceeding difficult to say one is better than another, but a personal favorite? Probably the Gospel of John to pick a single book, or the writings of John collectively for a favorite group.
I love the Epistles. James, Titus and Timothy (both) are probably my favorites. Even when reading elsewhere, I am usually also reading one of those at the same time!
Oooooh. Hard one. Revelations maybe… Isaiah perhaps. And you gotta love the 4 Gs.
Book? Probably Romans… Revelation is becoming special… Section? Hmmm… Prophets, though I’ve studied them the least. That’s what I’m on now.
Daniel, Isaiah, or Revelation… don’t make me pick just one
Psalms and Song of Songs.
@yorel - your default picture is awesome.
I have to say my favorite book is probably proverbs. Short and sweet.
I’ve read the Bible through many times over the years and I love it all! As with the psalmist, I can say, “Thy Word have I hid in my heart that I might not sin against Thee.” Although I studied Hebrew for one semester over forty years ago, I prefer to use the straightforward English that I grew up with. So I say “Peace” instead of Shalom, and do not refer to the sections of the Bible by their Hebrew names. If I were to do that I think it would seem a bit artificial. However, if you are part of a Hebrew-Christian congregation, I’m sure that is a very natural thing to do.
No special favorite book, although I find myself meditating quite a bit in the Psalms!
God’s peace to you!
David/”The LORD is my Shepherd; I shall not (be in) want.” (Psalm 23.1)
The whole of the Word of God is good for instruction, rebuke, edification, etcetera.
I find solice in reading his word, I find strength in His Word, I find increased faith as I meditate upon his Word and SEE the truth that His Holy Spirit reveals to me in His Word. The more I read, the more He reveals; the more He reveals, the more I grow; the more I grow, the more I reflect His image; and the more I reflect His image, the more I am.
I like the whole of the Word of God, for in the whole of his Word is truth, life and healing to my flesh.
If I HAD to choose but ONE part, I have to say, the letters in red, as they are the very words of my Lord and King.
Though I’m not Christian, I really enjoyed reading [some parts of!] Psalms…Oh, and Genesis was fun to imagine. Heheh.
