Dear Friend, This series of Godspeak™ Bible Guides will make it easy for you to search and understand the Scriptures for yourself. Please keep a Bible at hand when following these Bible guides.
The Bible is a momentous message of love from the eternal God to you personally. Slow down, slake your thirst, and drink in its deep meaning.
The King James Version is the most accurate, though no translation is flawless. If you prefer a modern language version, I suggest the New King James Version. It flows with much of the same cadence and beauty found in the King James and is almost (though not quite) as accurate. For easy reference, there are user-friendly Scripture Indexes in the back of each chapter.
With Care, Troy Montana
