Answer 2

I don't blame you. I had the same experience, too when I was young. But then I was given this book and I found it wonderful.
I tell the same thing as it is in the Bible, but the stories become amazingly clear and beautiful. Why don't you try it:

The book's title is The Desire of Ages. Click on its contents, chapter by chapter. Here are some of them:

Chapter Title
Preface
1. "God With Us"
2. The Chosen People
3. "The Fullness of the Time"
4. Unto You a Saviour
5. The Dedication
6. "We Have Seen His Star"
7. As a Child
8. The Passover Visit
9. Days of Conflict
10. The Voice in the Wilderness


I have never read a more beautiful book than this about the life of Christ and the teaching of the Bible and its English is simple and just fantastic.

Believe it or not, but this book was written by a woman who had only 3 years of primary education, but this book was considered the best book ever written on the Gospel and the LIfe of Jesus, and are used as a textbook in thousands of schools and universities around the world.

May God bless you.

If you are interested in understanding the Scriptures, whether Old or New Testament, perhaps you could read books that explain the Scriptures. There are many fine books that discuss and analyze the Bible so that you do not have to wade through all of that "So and so begat" and all of that. A wonderful book that discusses and interprets Ecclesiastes is "The Wisdom of Solomon" by Rami Shapiro.
