Bible reading and study is a key element to the spiritual growth of a Christian. The Bible is God's written communication to us. Apart from it, we cannot know the one and only true God as He has revealed himself. If you want to grow in the Christian faith, then you must read and study the Bible.
Here are some good starting points for helping you in your study of God's Word.
