People read books to learn, to answer questions, to enjoy a good story, and to improve themselves. And perhaps no book provides these benefits as well as does the best-selling book in the world, the Holy Bible.

Even when read as a work of literature rather than scripture, the Bible’s theme is clear: God, our Heavenly Father, has a presence and purpose on this earth. From the story of the Creation in Genesis to the miracles performed by Jesus Christ recorded in the New Testament, the Bible gives evidence of God’s interest in His children. Countless people throughout the Bible have been witness to God’s majesty and miracles. Following the teachings found in this record of divine interventions enables us to know God, learn from the lives of His followers, and better understand His will.
