Read a banned book - The Holy Bible

The American Library Associtation has designated the first week of October as Banned Books Week in celebration of the freedom to read and to express one's opinion "even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular."
The Bible is the all-time bestselling book, but in some parts of the world it is banned because it's considered dangerous. the Bible is dangerous, however, only to those who exploit the weak and the innocent, who use force to keep others enslaved in poverty and ignorance, who don't want to give up their favourite sin, who believe that salvation can be found apart from Christ.

No one wants to be told they are wrong. No one wants to hear that their behavoiur is putting themselves and those they love in danger or thah God's patience will eventually wear out. Yet that was the message God told Jeremiah to write (jeremiah 36:2). When His message was read to King Jehoiakim, the king cut up the scroll and threw it into the fire. (jer 36:23)

The ONLY way to know we are right is to be willing to discover where we are wrong.
Read the all time best selling banned book, and let it reveal to you the truth about God - and about yourself.

*The Bible shows us a picture of who we really are.
