http://bigchurch.com/blog/livingmyfaith/index.html?site=bc&pid=f3104 I noticed while going through all the discussion groups listed, that BC does not have a library of recommended reading material which, along with God's word "the Bible" might be of benefit to other believers. If I have missed something, please let me know. If you have suggestions of Christian materials which might benefit another person on this site, please let us know the name of the book/publication, the author/publisher, and where this might be obtained. Bibles come in numerous translations but are all the Word of God. What Bible do you use, and why is it meaningful to you? In setting up this site, I would like to let everyone know that they would please stay to the topic intended for the use of others who may be in need of information.God Bless all who respond, and thank you. http://bigchurch.com/blog/7740/post_159321.html?site=bc&pid=f3104&m= 1 John 1:1-3"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was man Wed, 25 Nov 2009 20:35:14 -0800 http://bigchurch.com/blog/7740/post_159321.html?site=bc&pid=f3104&m= http://bigchurch.com/blog/7740/post_159285.html?site=bc&pid=f3104&m= Hebrews 7:25"Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them."
