Everyone or at least most people have a favorite book or a favorite story that they can think about and it brings them joy, happiness, peace, or comfort. They can easily hide and dive into the book being another world for them. My Bible is literally one of the most important things to me. I have one too many to just show all of them in one picture. My whole life the one thing that has helped me get through my toughest situations has been the word of God. It’s not about religion for me because if it was about religion then I wouldn’t depend on my Bible. I’ve been through some of the most complex situations of my life some in which I thought would be detrimental, but I’ve always been able to go to my Bible and have that hope and trust that things would be done for the better and it has.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 1 PM. I’ll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the end—since I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times don’t work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means you’ll have to schedule an appointment in advance via email. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
I really love the idea of your post. You chose to talk about the holy book that gives you strength to move forward.
I would have to ask though, what was it that got you into reading Bible? any kind of story that you would like to share?
