God's word in the Bible is the most important book ever written. It has many authors, but behind them all is the Author of Life. It's the main way God has chosen to reveal Himself to mankind--who He is and His great love for his greatest creation--men and women.

  There is a book written by a man who had a near death experience, Didn't You Read My Book? by Dr. Richard E. Eby (available at Amazon). During this experience he asked God many questions. God responded by asking him "Didn't you read my book."

  God wants to reveal Himself to us, but do we really want to know Him? Or would we rather know as little as possible so we can go about living our lives as we please.
