Can you guess what it is? The answer is THE BIBLE! Are you surprised by this? Take a look at what the New Yorker magazine, December 18, 2006, had to say about it.

Wouldn't it make sense for each American to take some time to READ it? If you will, you will be changed by it for the better. You will especially be changed by reading the book of Romans and the Gospel of John. These two books tell us all about Jesus/Yeshua and how He died on the cross to make forgiveness for our sins possible. The greatest gift ever given to the human race was when God gave His only Son to the world, as we all know from John 3:16.
Merry Christmas to all of you and may you find a new beginning through God's greatest gift.
