Christ in the Pages of the Bible

As you may have noticed, I've been loving the Woodrow Kroll books I've recently read!!! In How To Find God in the Bible, he shares this little list called "Christ in the Pages of the Bible." (It is on pages 162-164). I LOVE this list, I do, because in it I see 66 wonderful reasons to read the Bible. Why read the Old Testament? Why read the New Testament? To learn about God, our Savior, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever! The Bible is *anything* but boring! You can meet God in all sixty-six books. He has something to say to you in His Word...will you take the time to read it for yourself?!
