This is the story of The
Book,
Not just the best-selling
publication of all time;
Not just the most influential
book ever written,
translated into more
than half the world's
languages;
Not just its 66 books,
written in 3 languages,
by over forty authors,
over 2,000 years time;
Not just literature
for the ages, poetry
and songs, stories and
letters, and ancient prophecy;
Not just a history
of God's chosen,
from the beginning
to an apocalyptic end;
Not just holy scripture
churches choose to obey;
Not just a set of basic
instructions before leaving
earth;
Not just an accounting
of the fall and redemption
of mankind, with promises to
make all things new;
Not just God's Word
given by God to and
through broken men;
Not just God's revelation
of Himself to His creation;
But God's living love letter
expressing what He wants most
for His more than precious kids,
A ready reminder of
His constant presence
even in the worst of times.
Have you read it?
He'll read it with you.
Hold it up where you
may treasure it most…
next to your beating heart.
