Reading the Bible, the sacred texts of both the Jewish and Christian tradition, has been an important part of the spiritual journey for millions, now billions of people!  But it isn't always an easy or straightforward sort of task.  Whether you need something new to help you reengage, or want to explore other ways of reading the text, take a moment to explore some of these resources.

And, if you have a way of reading that you'd like to share with others in our community, email Ruthanne (ruthannej@gmail.com) and she will share in future newsletters.

Be blessed as God's Living Word blesses and strengthens you!

Bible App

Sacred Space

This has long been a favourite of mine.  A website where you can walk through a daily prayer, reading and thoughts to provoke and encourage your journey.  You can go as quickly or as slowly as you want.
