Making the Bible Easier to Read

http://www.biblesociety.org.uk/news/dr-gooders-6-top-tips-for-reading-the-bible/ is a good place to start if you want to get stuck into the Bible. On top of that a few words of my own: Memorising a Bible verse is a good way of getting it inside you and mulling it over. It will help you slow down. Make sure you read it in context before you start. Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit as you mull a verse over. Try reading a passage together in a small group, and ask each other, 'What really stood out for you from the passage? What did you find hard to understand?' None of us have all the answers and it can be encouraging to hear that others struggle with parts of it too. Find a song that quotes scripture and learn to sing it. Music adds life!
