Proverbs has alot of wisdom to hold on to... I really like it. Not really sure though which one I'd choose from....

New Test.....I love the gospel of John.!

But Old Testament
either Genesis, or Isaiah

New Testament
either Acts, John, or Hebrews

Just think of the 2 that would tell the story in the most complete fashion.

I would proably choose the psalms for the comfort they give.
Also too I would choose Romans,because it reminds me of the fact that we aren't under the law.

Genesis and Romans. (But then again, how can one really answer such a question? Seems like Thomas Jefferson tried.

)

The Gospel of John would be right up there with them though.

Thinking about this question has made me more aware and thankful for all of God's Word. I am glad i don't have to do without any of it.

Many times as I sit with my Bible on my lap, pondering some fresh nugget gleaned from the Scripture, I think to myself, "I am so glad I didn't neglect the Word today, or I would have missed this!"

"Man doth not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

I have 2 Bibles open on my desk right now, I too would say Genesis and Acts. I would too have a hard time not taking one of the gospels, but my reason for Acts should be plain to us apostolics. Acts refers to the life of Jesus Christ a lot, so, its not like we would totally miss what was offered in the gospels.

I'm glad to have it ALL!!

Acts is really a continuation of the ministry of Christ.

I would definitely choose the Gospel of John ... John summarizes Genesis in his first chapter anyway and who the Word is ....

and the last one is a toss up between Acts, Romans and 1 John.

I probably would lean towards Romans ... The main theme of the letter is the salvation offered through the Gospel of Jesus Christ (1:16 – 17). Paul argues that all humanity is guilty and accountable to God for sin and that it is only through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ that humanity can attain salvation. Therefore, God is both just and the one who justifies. In response to God's free, sovereign and graceful action of salvation, humanity can be justified by faith. Paul uses the example of Abraham to demonstrate that it is by faith not works that mankind can be seen as righteous before God.

And let's not forget that one man's study of this book revolutionized the world as we know it ... See Martin Luther.
