What was your first Bible experience?


My dad shared his. He kept hearing people say "The bible says" so he decided to read it for himself. He found one in the sears catalog for 17cents. After getting it and noticing it had Ruth and Esther he wondered if he had the wrong one because he hadn't heard about any women in the bible. But after comparing it to their family bible he saw it had them also. Thus began his bible experience.



My older sister Carol gave me a bible in 6th. grade. It was when I began reading it on my own somewhat consistently. I later found a similar copy at a garage sale and bought it for sentimental reasons.
