The Bible

I would save the Bible. It is a guide to living; full of wisdom. It explains where we came from and how it all will end. God offers us love, pleace and meaning to life. God is the one who satisfies with his love. He is the "master of the universe." It is a book that most families display proudly. It is very powerful and one of the most often read in prision. I would say it is the most read and quoted books of all time.

If I could only save one book, that one book would be the Bible. The Bible is a timeless guide to meeting our creator, learning how to live a life that blesses others, and avoiding so many pitfalls of human existence. The Bible is entertaining, enlightening, revealing, and seems renewed each time I read it.

The Bible: Moses, St. Paul, Solomon, etc...
I Want this book's history on the every day laws and ways of the people to stay alive forever. With out the bible the world would probally be miserable with out the tales of the world and the likings of religion. People wouldn't know who made this world or how this world was made.The Book tell us myths that are entertaining and makes me think.

Collected Works of Robert Frost

He fills every mood with reflection and trusts me to consider the universe. Swept away not just by content but by the rhyme and meter, too, I sometimes turn the pages, breathless, anticipating another jolt from reality. And if I want to leave grinning, "Brown's Descent" does the trick.

Siddhartha by Herman Hesse

This book opened up my eyes to different ways of looking at the world at a young age.

As a second choice --

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Green. It was my favorite book as a young girl. I learned the power that books can have to create emothin and truth.

Nature is so important to me. I lost this book (published in 1952) during a move several years ago and now realize how much I miss it.
