For decades, a popular theme of interest has been focused on the sacred collection of books known as the Holy Bible. I often ask myself, “is the Bible really holy? What sets it apart from other religious texts?” I don’t really have an answer to these questions. Personally, I just feel like whenever I read anything from the Bible, it strikes a chord in me that no other “sacred” text is able to do. There is some connection that is made between the literature on the sacred pages of the bible and my own life – a relationship that I cannot explain, but am certain is real. I believe that my personal connection to the words in this book is a connection that many people are unable or unwilling to experience. I often spend time in personal reflection after reading this text because I believe every word in it to be true. I believe if I follow the suggestions of this sacred text, then I will be filled with contentment, wisdom, and a more complete knowledge of God.
