#01 THE HOLY SCRIPTURES

Have you ever had to move around in the dark without a torch? It’s slow going and you bump into things. Many people today are stumbling through life, not sure where they are going and not sure how they are going to get where they want to be. The Bible is sometimes called the Holy Scriptures or the Word of God. It’s actually a collection of 66 individual books or letters written by 35 different people from all kinds of different backgrounds over a period of about 1600 years. It is divided into two main sections; the Old Testament, which contains 39 books, and the New Testament, which contains the remaining 27 books. The Bible has been written as a guide for your life.
