Scripture is also the road map for our lives. So many people say “I wish God would just speak to me and tell me what I need to do” and He does. We just have to get into the Word and He will direct us in ALL things.

In this chapter I got a clearer understanding of the difference in translations and paraphrase. I learned that parts of Daniel and Nehemiah are written in Aramaic which I did not know. I knew that the Bible was written in Hebrew and Greek but was unaware of the Aramaic portion. …

I do a lot of driving (most likely not as much as you lol) for work and I do find it helpful to keep me focused and also there are no distractions so I can really concentrate on the reading and I find that I am able to recall it better at times. Thanks for sharing.

In this lesson I really appreciated the summary of each book of the Bible. It really helps to know what each book is about to before getting into the book itself.
