Until I was in college the main things I read were pictures. You know, like the pictures in Motor Trend or Car and Driver. I would read the pictures in a lot of car magazines and I could read them fast. If the pictures were really good then I might even read the article that was beside them. I never saw it coming – so it surprised me just as much as it surprised my friends – I started to read books. That is right. I read books that did not even have pictures.
The book I am reading right now is called “The Faith” by Charles Colson and Harold Fickett. I am only on chapter two, but I am loving it. For some crazy reason I like to read Non-Fiction books and especially ones that are about defending the Christian faith. I know what I believe and I want others to believe along with me that Jesus came to the earth and lived a sinless life and then died on a cross so that I could be forgiven and that He ROSE FROM THE DEAD! I read these books so that I can explain how being a Christian is both logical and practical.
I just wanted to let you know that God exists and it does not matter if you or I believe it or not. I hope that you will check out a good book about Christianity and check into why you believe what you do. If you are not a believer in God then maybe you will see new and amazing facts. If you are already a Christian it will encourage you and help you to be able to explain to others what you believe. I hope you will come to enjoy reading a good book like I do. Most of all I hope you come to enjoy the Bible as you read about the love God has for you.
