Hi M.,
My husband and I are currently studying the Bible...there are a number of wonderful resources available. My husband works long hours and most times doesn't have time to sit down and flip through the Bible....BUT found a wonderful way to still study the Bible online, a much faster & easier way for him. Check out the following links: The first one is a Bible Study itself...walks you through the Bible. The second website is an online Bible...where you can find scriptures, etc., while you are using the Bible Study website.

If it's books you are more interested in, I'm currently reading "Mom's Devotional Bible" (NIV) by Zondervan. It's simple to understand for those of us who may be new to reading and applying Scripture. And the passages are wonderful for "new" or "old" mom's with issues on motherhood and raising our children. Here is a link from Amazon (you can get this Bible at most book stores): http://www.amazon.com/NIV-Moms-Devotional-Bible-Zondervan...
Also, I go to Harvest Bible Chapel http://www.harvestbible.org/ (there are several locations...Rolling Meadows, Niles, Elgin, Crystal Lake, just to name a few)...we have a WONDERFUL Mother's Bible Study called "Entrusted with a Child's Heart" (that I'm currently taking and I absolutely LOVE...it is helping me become a better mom...a Godly Mom, raising my children God's way.) The class runs Sept.-Apr. (so we are almost done with this year...but it will be starting up again in Sept. 2008). I HIGHLY recommend this class for mom's to be, new mom's, old mom's, step-mom's, for ANY mother out there. Here's the link for more info. on the Study http://www.ewach.com/
Hope you find the perfect Bible, book, or class to fit your needs.
God Bless!
