God gave us a wonderful gift - His Word in written form. The Bible is God’s Word but was written by about 35 different authors over 1,500 years. The Bible tells us that all scripture is God-breathed. Each author wrote what God inspired them to write - God’s words being spoken through them.

The Bible is a big book! It’s not the kind of book you casually read from front to back. You can read it like that, but it’s different from a normal book. The Bible includes 66 books - 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Testament.

There’s so much in the Bible that you really can never stop reading! The Bible has different types of writing - stories, history, poetry, prophesy, wisdom, and letters. We can read it in parts - a verse, a passage, or a story. If you don’t like reading, you could listen to it, read a short devotional from the YouVersion Bible App, or watch a video. No matter how you do it, God’s Word is powerful, and God can speak to you right where you’re at.
