Ever wish you could sit and read the Bible like a good book, but get distracted by the chapter and verse divisions and footnotes? HIStory: The Reader's Bible is for those who want to enjoy the reading experience of the Bible without all the distractions!
Chapter divisions, verse numbers, and all footnotes have been removed, giving the reader a wonderful reading experience without all the distractions. My prayer is that this Bible will meet a need among believers in Christ.
While this edition of the Bible is not intended for deep study, that would require being able to cross-reference and look up specific verses, I pray that it will be used to draw you into His Story, as you read through the Bible. The Bible is the most important book of all, and I am excited to get it into this "easy to read" format for you to enjoy!
This volume covers Matthew through Acts in the New Testament.

The Book of Bert
A modern day Living Testament written in chapter and verse. This story is based on see something say something and stranger danger. Names are unimportant and really meaningless. What is more important is the assault on common decency for the purpose of the enrichment of one man and his attempt to validate his otherwise rather useless existence. Will humanity survive the darkness of his juvenile deluded mind ? Or will his cult following bring society down ? Are we prepared to trade freedom and democracy for an authoritarian pseudo christian-fascist state, ruled by him or any other demagogue that follows him ? How did we get here ? This book wasn't written to offend anyone in particular, just to serve as a mirror to those who are finding more hate than joy in their day to day life and wonder why. The ending of chapter two; verses 8 thru 12, and chapters three and four are prophetic in a way and I have to say it's the best case scenario. The worst case you don't even want to imagine. Man has reached a fork in the road. Will he choose to follow his Heart, the path of Light and Love and Life or continue down the darker path of mind and ego where hate and greed are not only acceptable but actually encouraged ? Man can do better ! Let's hope he chooses the right path, the path that's lit up by The Love of Life itself.Complete
Transcendence 2
As we go through life most people crave more wisdom, understanding, more happiness, more faith, less stress, and less anxiety. The Bible is filled with relevant lessons, meaningful insights, guidance, encouragement, and hope to give us all the tools we need to have more of the good stuff and less of the bad in life. Transcendence 2 digs deeper into these stories and finds insight from God to help us in every single situation humans could possibly encounter throughout life. Continuing on from the great stories of Genesis, many years after Joseph died, Exodus introduces us to a great and much needed liberator. God's silence is over and He is ready to take his people out of Egypt and into the land He promised Abraham and Isaac. God directs the Israelites up close and personal. In Leviticus He spells out specific laws and decrees to guide them to live the life He expects. When we feel hopeless, alone, discouraged, or unheard, reading these pages will help us see how God not only hears our prayers, but He shows up, and shows off in miraculous ways. Our limited minds can't understand how God can do absolutely everything. These true stories help us lean not unto our own understanding but to lean on faith, and watch the miracles take place all around us.Complete

The Church and The Community
Community and Church Story is a deep and heartfelt reflection on the impact of community and church in shaping individual lives. The book is divided into four major parts, each blending biblical wisdom, personal experiences, and practical lessons to guide readers in making wise choices about the people and environments they allow to influence their journey. From understanding the foundation of community and church teachings, to learning how to navigate friendships, avoid negative influences, and build resilience, the story shows how one's background can prepare them to succeed in society without being held back by toxic associations. The author uses their own life as a case study, sharing how the wrong crowd led to mistakes and struggles, and how faith and church guidance provided a path to restoration and growth. Filled with relevant Bible verses, thoughtful reflections, and actionable steps, this manuscript encourages readers to socialize wisely, seek positive environments, and embrace the transformative power of both faith and good community. It is a life guide for anyone striving to rise above challenges, build meaningful connections, and shape their own future.Complete
New Parables to Ponder: 12 Stories to Spark Spiritual Questions
I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. -from a prophecy in the songs of Asaph ***** Jesus is famous for teaching with parables, earthly stories with heavenly meanings, as people call them. But if you read the eye witness accounts closely, you'll find that Jesus made a point never to explain what the parables meant to the crowds of people. Why? The power of learning a spiritual truth is not from someone giving you the answer, but when you wrestle with the question and find the answer for yourself. Jesus' parables have been over-analyzed for millennia, so it's hard to read one these days without already knowing the meaning before you begin. This book attempts to craft new parables, but without just giving you the hidden meaning. It's a puzzle wrapped in a story just waiting for you to dig up your own answers.Complete
Creator: Friend or Foe?
This story began as a NaNoWriMo 2012 work, with no planning, and even less idea of plot. I learned from that experience that I am not a 'pantser' -and spent about 20 painful months trying to turn my stream-of-consciousness 3-stories-in-one into one coherent novel, following the timeline and events in the Book of Genesis. I discovered that that is not a great way to build a plot. I ended after 5 more drafts, at about 60k words. There is another draft on my blog, slightly longer, a bit more experimental. This is only meant to be a marker of progress. I hope some may find it enjoyable, useful, and even helpful. If interested in the 6th draft: https://shiradest.wordpress.com/2014/12/20/martin-luther-king-rabbinical-commentary-poster-inspired-a-novel/ Peace, ShiraComplete

Daily Bible Reading and Prayer 2, ESV, Hebrews 7-, Psalm 62-, Nov 10, 2018-
Hello!!! You might be coming from my previous Daily Bible Reading and Prayer, or you might be new. Either way, welcome! If you are wondering whether you should read the first one first, I would say, you can if you want, but you really don't have to. So what is this book exactly? The title is pretty self explanatory, but I will explain more. I started this because I used to neglect my devotions, always making excuses. By doing this I am keeping myself accountable, I say I will do a chapter a day, so if I don't, I will be lying. How I do this is first I copy and paste a chapter from the Bible(I'm currently in Hebrews and Psalms), then as I read it, I make notes, and then I pray. I hope you will be blessed by this book! Btw, I'm using ESV for this one, I used KJV for the last one. I want to try ESV because lots of people, including my crush, say it is more accurate. I do try to update this every day, but I go to Bible study on Thursdays and every other Sunday, and I often don't get home till rather late, so I don't always do this those days.Complete

Imagination A Gift From God
Imagination is that ability to see what is unseen, which is a powerful gift from God. Learning how to use our imagination correctly is vital to any Christian walk. Each chapter describes those different sometimes difficult challenges we can all face in life. This is where Nathan Sparkes breaks down the barriers of how we tackle those difficult times, and how our imagination could be twisted by negativity if not careful. God's work in our lives is only limited by how much we limit our imagination, very simple but true. That is why we all need visions, hopes and dreams of goals we look forward to, that then give us a purpose in life. As Nathan Sparkes wrote about his testimony, about walking away from God - being caught up in the world as a young teenager, then finding his way back to God several years later. Chapter by chapter this book helps us to see how we should use our dreams and visions, as we learn to develop a wonderful imagination that reflects the heart of God.Complete
