National Bible Week

November 19, 2007 by Lillie 

Thanksgiving week has been recognized as National Bible Week since 1941.

Designed to raised the nation’s interest in the value and importance of reading the Bible, it is the perfect kick-off to the religious holiday season.

I read the Bible daily (well … almost daily, but if I miss a day, I try to catch up the next day). I also participate in Bible studies on a regular basis.

My church usually has one or more excellent studies in progress, but physical limitations make it difficult for me to attend in person so I participate in e-mail Bible studies from JesusWalk. I just finished a wonderful study of the Psalms, and I’ve signed up for a four-week Advent Bible study.

For Christians seeking to learn more of God’s Word, Advent is a wonderful time to read and study the Bible.

Didn’t know it was National Bible Week, Lillie! But thanks for filling me in! (You seem to know about all the less common holidays!)

This is a great time for a renewed commitment to Bible reading, and for those who’ve never read the Bible before, a great time to start!

Blessings,
Jeanne

I did not know that this is National Bible Week. In fact, I never heard about it before. Even though our church doesn’t follow Advent per se, I like the season and the edge that Advent takes off of the commercial aspect of “the holidays” as some call the period from Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year’s Day.
