"Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (the Bible)".

You say there's room for more books (and movies) in the world. The thing is this ... The Bible is not just a book. It is spirit. This means the words on that page are not just written words, but they convey the message God gave us as men to know, learn, and understand. As such, when we read the Bible, when we seek to know the truth, there is a communion of fellowship that takes place between our spirit, and God's spirit. We hear that part on the inside, not of what our eyes see, not of a reasoning mind reading and deciphering mere letters/words, but of spirit, a component of our being that we borrow from God upon this Earth until we are born again (of the spirit).

Within the spirit message of the Bible, of hearing, therein lies the truth.

The only way to find the truth, Mike, it to seek it. This means you put aside prior beliefs, prior conclusions, prior trains of thought, prior advice from family or friends, and to step up before God, the God of this universe, naked and alone, just you and Him, and you say in a purposed voice, "I want to know the truth, even if it means I discover I've been wrong all these years, I still want to know."

When you get to that place where you are seeking the truth with all your heart, mind, body and soul ... you will find it. Godspeed, Mike.
