The Bible is the greatest book in the history of mankind which incorporated the folk wisdom and embodied the moral foundations of human life. This book is not just a cultural phenomenon but the foundation of the spiritual life of the world. In the Bible we can find solutions to essential problems: life and death, fate, the soul of man, good and evil. Although the Bible is composed of many books of different genres and created at different times by different people, the Bible is one book which is a great, eternal companion for many people around the world for more than two thousand years.

To my mind, neither rituals nor icons in the church will save a man. Only faith can do it. If we are to believe in what is written in the Bible, then it automatically means that we have to fulfill it, otherwise we do not believe, and only know what is written there and this benefit us from nothing.
In order for a person to live a full life in respect of body and soul, he/she must have faith. And these are not just mere words of religious fanatics. We all believe in some kind of supernatural power, people call it by different ways, but the Bible says that it is God.
