the Bible: A Summary: For Love of God

Teaser Have you ever wanted to read The King James Version of the Holy Bible but found it too confusing? I have. And during those times, I would give up and put my Bible away. I even tried reading different versions of the Bible like the NIV. I became even more confused because different bibles have different vocabularies and styles. Later I decided that I would read the Bible according to the way that would make me and my sisters understand it after our mother passed away. In reading to make us understand, I found the key to unlock many of the meanings in the Bible. First, I decided to read one Bible: The King James Version of the Holy Bible. I summarized each book into its major lesson: then, I broke each chapter of that book into smaller bits and pieces, sticking to the rules of constructing an English composition paragraph. But instead of using transitions to guide the reader from one idea to the next one, I used bullets for developing each idea. Also, during the summaries of each book and its chapters, I paid closed attention to the English literary elements, which I refer to as the 5 w's (who, what, when, where, and why) and the use of figurative language. These writing processes come to you automatically when you read all texts. Now, I have given you the keys to read more deliberately with the purpose to understand and fully engage with this text and many more.
