Ah, the Bible– the book of books!

My favourite book of the Bible is Hebrews; my favourite book of the (Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox) Bible is Judith! Hebrews talks of the relationship between the Old Testament and the New Testament, the law and grace, Jesus being our High Priest.

Judith is a really exciting story about a brave woman who saves Judea by working undercover and beheading the Assyrian captain, Holofernes.

My favourite passages are:

Psalm 100 (KJV) Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

Galatians 5:1 (NIV) It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

John 14:27 (NIV) Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
