1) How many Bibles in your home?

Well we are packing things away, but I would say 6 or 7.

2) What rooms are they in?

Well right now I have two in my truck and one in a box in the basement and the rest are packed away ready for our move.

3) What translations do you have?

Mostly NIV, but I do have my Baptismal bible which is a KJV.

4) Do you have a preference?

Actually I would like to pick up an ESV and a Becks if they are still around.

5) Nominate an interesting verse.

That is tough because I have a whole bunch of favorites

I think the one that intrigues me most is Galations 2:20 which reads

20I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Equally intriguing is the next verse: 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"

these two verses explain how the life we live now is totally because of Christ in us and that Grace trumps law.

I learned this verse about 20 years ago when I was going through an identity crisis. It helped identify with Christ as my Lord and savior. Now I pass it on.
