We have a Bible in the form of a magazine called Bibelzine that we keep in the kids' bathroom for "library reading" wink. Inside the cover it gives a great description of what the Bible is. I thought I'd pass it along.

The Bible is like a FLASHLIGHT
When the world feels like a dark place and you feel lost, the Bible makes things seem brighter and it shows you the way to go.

The Bible is like a MIRROR
When you read it, you see yourself in it. It teaches you things about yourself.

The Bible is like BREAD and WATER
When your soul is hungry & thirsty, reading God's Word fills you up.

The Bible is like a SWORD
When you know the truth in the Bible, you have a weapon that you can use to fight against the temptation to do wrong things

The Bible is like a FRIEND
When you're all alone, reading your Bible makes you feel like God is right there with you, talking to you because He is!

The Bible is like a NOVEL, an ENCYCLOPEDIA, a POEM, and a LETTER all rolled in to one
The Bible tells many stories of God and His people; it gives important information that we need in our lives; it contains beautiful poetry; and GOD TELLS US ABOUT HIS LOVE FROM THE FIRST PAGE TO THE LAST.
