These past couple of weeks I've read several books, which is huge for me as I very rarely ever read. One of the books was set 40 years after Jesus was crucified. It was amazing to get a picture of what it was like to live in the early church, in a place that totally rejected God, yet the church is beginning to grow. This is all set around the time some of the New Testament is being written. To read about the strength of people's faith as they face being thrown in the lion's den and yet remain at total peace is so challenging. Through reading the book God's totally given me a better perspective of the bible and what kind of situations Paul's letters are being written into. Reason no. 329 :)
