I would suggest one of the gospels. The difference in Christianity from any other religion starts at Jesus. The more you understand Jesus, the better. I distinctly remember knowing the books of the bible and the stories of the old testament as a kid and couldn't tell you a lot about Jesus from my private, Christian education. That may have been more harmful.What is a good place to start reading the bible? I belong to a church, and I go here and there, but I've yet to fully dive in to reading. Also, how do others feel about tithing?
Another great way to tackle the bible is a study or devotional book. Better to have one verse explained in detail than just reading it to check off a box. I've been going thru a 1 year devotional on just the gospels for about 3 years but each time I read it, I get a ton out of it.
Finally, it's not a race. Take it at your own pace. Do what feels good to you for reading.
