According to the Guinness World Record, the Bible is the best selling book of all time. Though it is impossible to know the exact copies that have been printed in the roughly 1500 years since its contest were standardized, but research conducted by the British and Foreign Bible Society in 2021 suggests that the total number probably lies between 5 to 7 billion copies.

So, what makes the bible the most famous and most sought after book?
The bible is being seen by others as an ordinary literature book, but actually it is not just a simple book that contains different stories, histories and even parables and proverbs. It is a story of a person who gave himself for undeserving people just to save them and show His love and unending grace for people. This book have addressed all the issues of a person. It has all the answer for all the question a person can have about life, death and many issues. But most of all, the center of this book is the life of Jesus Christ and His death and resurrection.
Amazingly, the Bible is the only book that once a person read and understands it, that person will be transformed to newness of life. The bible is the only book that not can only inform us but it can truly transform and change life. I have heard many testimonies of people being evil, drug addict, addicted to pornography, murderers, prisoners and others, who got free from this things when they read the bible, because they have met and understand how Christ gave His life for them just to save and set them free from the bondage of sin.
No book can ever compared to the Bible. Because the Bible contains the very Word of the Lord. It is not a fictional nor invented contents. The bible amazingly, is written by different authors, like Moses, David, Solomon, Matthew, Mark, Luke, Paul and other disciples of Jesus Christ, but the interesting point is that, though these authors lived in different timeline and different part of the world, still they did not contradict each others writings, instead they united in one message. So, this only proves that the Bible, though it is written by different people, this people are being guided by the Holy Spirit while they are writing. We can therefore say that the real author of the bible is the Holy Spirit, the God Himself.
If you still don't have the copy of the Bible, may you have time to get one and start reading it, and i know that when you read it, your life will start to change because you will encounter the loving, gracious, merciful and Holy God; the God of all anges.
That's the power of God's word!
