How Do You Make Bible Reading Enjoyable?

Are you less than thrilled about reading the bible? If so, you might agree with 18 year old Will, who says "The Bible can seem boring," however, he adds "that's only if you don't know how to read it"
Why learn how to read the Bible? Well, would you like to know more about how to Make good decisions, have real friends, and cope with stress? The Bible contains gems of wisdom on those subjects and more. But expending that effort is a lot like going on a treasure hunt; the more challenging the search the more exciting the discovery - Proverbs 2:1-6
How can you find treasures in the Bible? Let's see!

HOW TO READ THE BIBLE:

Before you read:
Make sure your surroundings are quiet so that you can concentrate
Pray for understanding

While you read:
Use Maps and depictions of Bible accounts to help you visualize Bible Scenes.
Consider the setting, and analyze details.
Consult footnotes and cross-references.
Ask yourself such questions as:
Facts: When did this occur, who spoke these words, to whom were the words addressed?

Meaning; How would I explain this to someone else?

Value: Why did Jehovah God include this account in His word? What does it reveal about His personality or way of doing things? What lessons can I apply to my life?

After you read: Do further research, use tools produced by Jehovah's Witnesses, such as the Insight on the Scriptures and "All scripture Inspired of God and Beneficial" books.
Pray again, Tell Jehovah God what you have learned and how you plan to use it. Thank Him for His word, the Bible.

There are maps and many research items available by Jehovah's Witnesses. Look us up in your phone book or go online and request more information. You may even request help with the Bible by asking for a bible study with Jehovah's Witnesses. It doesn't cost anything because we believe in the message Jesus stated in Revelation "Come take Life's Water Free!" Their is never any money plates or anything passed around at our meetings either. You are never obligated to donate any money to us. Jehovah God supplies for His flock with people's kind, unsolicited, donations.
