TOP BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS OF HAVE CHARACTER
THE BIBLE
God’s word to mankind. The only way to have a relationship with the true living God of the universe who created all things is through his word left to us. If you’ve never read or are unfamiliar with the Bible, start in the Book of John, the 4th book of the New Testament, to learn about Jesus, who he was, and what he did for us. The other gospel books of Matthew, Mark, and Luke also give us the life of Jesus. Do you want wisdom? Check out the book of Proverbs in the Old Testament. Want stories of the ancient world of human beings who fail just like you and I, yet God did great things through them despite their failures? Then check out the stories of the likes of Moses, Noah, Abraham, David, and Jonah (and many more). That said, all of the Bible will bring you to a closer, personal relationship with the One who created you.
The versions I would recommend is the New International Version (NIV), English Standard Version (ESV), or the King James Version (KJV)
