Favorite Bible Story or Book in the Bible

Post by Stop Wooton' Around »

What is your favorite bible story or stories?

I have always been fascinated with the life of David especially David and Goliath.

The Book of Daniel is my second favorite story.

Ruth and Esther are tied for third.

Daniel is probably my favorite book, because it has several fantastic stories included (refusing to eat the king's meat, interpreting the king's dream, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and the Fiery Furnace, Nebuchadnezzar eating grass as an animal, the writing on the wall, Daniel and the Lion's Den, and Bible prophesy).

David's life is one of my favorites as well.

I personally adore Song of Solomon. It's a good pick me up... Aside from that, I like 1 John. Stories? I can't really pick a favorite...

All of these are excellent but then again there really isn't a such thing as a bad book of the bible.

I know this verse(s) by heart!
^AIOluver^

Who am I? I'd rather not answer that question, the real question is, "Who are you?". Right now I am trying to think of something witty to put here.. I might not find anything, but that's fine. This block of text should be fine for a signature. Wait, are you still reading this? Why are you reading this? Stop. Seriously.
STOP.
This sentence is true.
The sentence above is false.

I dare you not to read this.
Hey! I said not to read this.
Maybe if I talk like this.
Wait, you still see me? *sighs* I give up.

you can learn a lot from job 38-42, being humble isn't the easiest but its worth it.

Definitely the parables that Jesus always tells. Especially love the parable of the unforgiving servant. "Do onto others as I have done onto you." Powerful stuff.

Daniel and Esther are always good books...Stories of Elijah are interesting too...plus Ruth...and Jacob...I really enjoy the complete stories that are focused on a small group of people. As far as NT, I learn a lot from John, and Acts is just plain interesting!
