A to Z Challenge B is for The Bible The Bible Code and The Bomdage Breaker

Last time I got a bit carried away, I found more versions of Amazing Grace than I had ever been aware of.  I may end up doing a follow up on that song with additional versions.

Now onto B.

We have three separate books this time, although the first book has been published many times in such versions as The (New) King James Bible, The New International Bible, The Living Bible,The Amplified Bible and then there is Joyce Meyer's Battlefield of the Mind Bible.

The key difference in all these versions is the way that they have been written and developed by the companies that release them.

The Amplified Bible is very contemporary in how it states the various books in the Bible, not only is the language contemporary, but the images speak to a modern generation.  To some this seems to be a sin because no one is to change a word in the Bible.

This belief has been for a very long time, however the Amplified Bible speaks well to many.

The New International version or NIV is a more traditional version but gone are thys and thou's and other language of generations passed.

One tip I give to you, do not go into reading this book with preconceived notions, be open.  And read it, if you are not certain go back and read it again or look up the chapter and verse in another version, you may be surprised by what you learn.

The Bible Code by Michael Droskin
The Bible Code was first published  in 1997.

The book was first in a series of three books all with the same title except for the addition of 2 and 3.

The claims that contained inside the Bible is a code that when translated by computer gives predictions of future events.  Now when I first read the first prediction it did surprise me, it spoke of the assanation of Israeli  Primeminister  Yhitzhak Rabin as wells as who would replace him.

However here is something I was not aware of until now.  These predictions came to pass before the book was published, since any prediction that came after did not come to be, then read it and make up your own mind.

The Bondage Breaker By Neil T Anderson
First published 1990 Revised version 2000



I have not had a chance to read this book, however I am very familiar with Neil T Anderson as a writer, because I have read Victory over the Darkness, which in some ways this book is a continuation of VOTD.

Anderson always gives actual examples in his writing, from people he has known.

His solutions are scriptural in nature but give practical means to achieve positive results.

I will be reading this book in the future and will come back and give a proper review,

This covers B onward to C
