My Bible: reasons to believe in the power of the Bible
'I’m 82 years old and I’ve joined a Bible study group in our village.
Last year, my friend gave me a study Bible. I haven’t really read the Bible for a long, long time. I didn’t know where to start.
She told me to read Exodus. I was fascinated by the building of the temple because I sew and embroider and do lots of clothes making. I used to make my husband’s shirts. Being interested in sewing and fabrics meant that I was really interested in the weaving, embroidery and construction of the temple.
I wasn’t receptive to the Bible before. This is the time for me to read it. There comes a time in everyone’s life when they turn back and read it really deeply.
I really haven’t got a lot of time left at 82, so I’m hoping to read it in a year. I’m really interested to do that. Each day there might be guidance, there might be an insight into something. It will enlarge my knowledge, I hope.'
