I like Psalm, Proverbs, John, and Isaiah just to name a few.
There is a verse in Jeremiah 29:11 that I really love.
So what are some of your favorite Books in the Bible and some verses?

1Thessalonians, as it talks about the return of Jesus for the rapture, and the book of Revelation, as it talks about the end of times, and Psalms are really nice and also I like to read Proverbs, as they tell the truth. Matthew has some very beautiful words from Jesus also, and John is really good too, as it tells us about being born again.

My favourites change with time except that I like John's Gospel best of all.
I advise new or would-be Christians to read John, then Acts, then Ephesians, then I and II John.
Then (no particular order) Genesis, Psalms (not all at once!), Luke, Galatians, Colossians, Philippians, Revelation.
Esther is a fascinating and different little book.

Snout should get a scooby snack for his answer. :)
My favorite, favorite book of the Bible has got to be I John, with I John 3:16 being my favorite scripture (not to be confused with John 3:16 of course!) :)
Matthew is my favorite Gospel, and I really like Proverbs, Psalms, and Genesis.

Can you be a Christian atheist? I'm an atheist who sees value in the Christian tradition I was brought up in.
From the Old Testament I'd nominate Ecclesiastes.
From the New, I've always loved 1 Corinthians 13. The whole chapter, which is one of the most beautiful pieces of writing ever. [Paul's word "agape", translated as "charity" in the the early 17th century KJV is best understood as "compassion" in 21st century English]. It is the profoundest text in the whole Bible, and would have done the Buddha proud.
And I love the Gospel of Matthew, both for what it tells of the teaching of Jesus, and what it tells of the tradition trying to make sense of that teaching.
[Edit, re answer below]
chomp... chomp... chomp... *licks lips*
Agape is a very good thing in anyone's language! *wags tail*

I enjoy Revelation alot. The book of James offers some practical comparisons on conduct of the mind and heart which is of high value. A favorite verse of mine is 2 Timothy 1:7.

You and that i've got plenty in elementary. those Christian books impacted me the main: one million. the conventional Christian life (Watchman Nee). If Nee lived interior the 1st century, the Bible might have the e book of Nee fairly of the e book of Romans. Nee does a extra helpful activity explaining the innovations interior the e book of Romans than Paul does. Nee died in a chinese language detention center in 1972. 2. convalescing Your Serve (Chuck Swindoll) a pragmatic thank you to grant to others, the quantity to which you may desire to do it, and the better objective of why to do it. 3. The Divine Romance (Gene Edwards) For the enormous image. It solutions why God made us. 4. The Grand Inquisitor (Fyodor Dostoevsky) purely what grow to be in those 3 questions the devil tempted Jesus with? it fairly is perhaps the main profound little e book I certainly have ever examine. certainly, "The Grand Inquisitor" is purely one financial ruin interior the bigger e book "The Brothers Karamazov".

Phelemon. Classic story of wrongdoing, forgiveness, and redemption.
Verses: Acts 2:38 - salvation, forgiveness, receiving the Spirit through repenting AND being baptized.
Mark 16:16 salvation is through believing AND being baptized.

favorite verse is the injunction to live peaceably so long as it is in your power to do so (I like the idealist/realist balance)
book: the older I get the more I appreciate the simple style of Mark.
