The one thing I have asked my 87-year-old father for when he dies is the Bible he used when he was in bed with TB as a young man. The notes are unreadably small, but they fill every space and shout to me that he valued the Word of God. He never went to seminary, but even today he disciples 6 or 8 men a week.LeAnne Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11433010038077925237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-78182371678346243402011-04-01T14:46:48.014-07:002011-04-01T14:46:48.014-07:00My bible is dated.It is covered in dates which the...My bible is dated.It is covered in dates which then refer back to my myriad dated prayer journals and I can then look up that date and remember exactly what was happening and how God answered or encouraged me with that verse or challenged me as the case may be. Otherwise I have a tendency to forget too soon God's answers. It is a way of encouraging faith. I also write or underline in non fiction books I re-read. Can't say I've ever done it in novels, perhaps because I rarely read novels more than once.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14217918666756258037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-65380641923863861602011-03-30T01:06:38.849-07:002011-03-30T01:06:38.849-07:00I have used a highlighter in my bible but not in b...I have used a highlighter in my bible but not in books. Although at school it was cool to get a book from the year earlier with answers already in books like the shorthand book. but normally I didn't write in them (maybe a little in the maths) but not others. And not novels but then Im not a writer. During the study I am doing one lecture would tell use to underline areas but it was not something I felt good doing. I have been guilty using dogs ears in books but that was when I was much younger and not so wiser. Now I rarely do this unless its a magazine or a cookbook or craft but not novels.Ausjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644698706787568679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-17763988052280829362011-03-29T22:59:47.285-07:002011-03-29T22:59:47.285-07:00Glad the post got you thinking, Laura.

I hadn't thought about it this way before. I've got hundreds of journals with verses written in them and my comments on them, but this could be a more interesting and pointed way of showing my son who I really am.

In my Bible, it's often a 2-way conversation with God in written form. I asked Him questions, and find His answers. I often like to write out prayers and put down the answers when I get them. It encourages my faith. As for writing in my favorite books, I highlight areas that I can learn from.Christine Lindsayhttp://www.christinelindsay.comnoreply@blogger.com
