My mother gave me a Bible when I was about 5 years old. It was a full Bible and not just a kids Bible. For many years, the Bible was very important to me. As the child of missionaries and going to church at least 3 times a week, knowing the Bible was very important. As a seminary student and the pastor, it was crucial. In the past few years, reading it has become less of a discipline. Nevertheless, it still is the basis for my faith. I still have that Bible. Since we were in Brazil, the Bible is in Portuguese.

Who gave you your first Bible and how old were you when you received it? How did it influence your life?
