Book of the Day
The book of the day is... The Bible! I bought a new copy of The Bible today. It's significant for a couple of reasons. First, it's the first (well, second really) Bible that I've bought for myself with my own money. Second it comes at a significant time for me in my spiritual journey.
I got The Message translation because I don't want to study so much as read. I enjoy the conversational style of The Message and feel like it's different enough from what I'm familiar with to help me immerse myself in the text and experience God in a fresh, new way.
Also I had a very Arthur Dent moment when I picked up this copy at the book store. It is leather bound with an owl etched on the front. Below him is the word, "THINK."
"I like the cover... It's the most useful or intelligible thing anyone has said to me all day".
