Need a book recommendation, bible related
And for just a Bible to have, I highly recommend the CSV (Christian Standard Bible) version. Grew up as a NIV (New International Version) Bible person but our current church uses the CSV and I really like it.

Although not a book, this is an excellent place to start in understanding the purpose and meanings of the books of The Bible. The Bible Project on YouTube.

I have a feeling Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ may be helpful. A number of C.S. Lewis' introductory books, like Mere Christianity, also mentioned above, are very good.

I like the NASB but I like it because it's the most "accurate" close to literal translation of the Bible in the original text. But because of that, it requires the highest grade reading comprehension ability. So it's not really easier to read.


"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
