My life long friend nick, who has always been an outspoken atheist, just asked me what translation he should be reading! I've cried many a tear in the presence of the LORD for this man. Please join me in praying that God would open nicks eyes to the truth of the Gospel and guide him in his search for truth in the person of Jesus Christ.

I am overjoyed for your friend. Yes, ESV is much easier to read than some others. It's a good starting point.

When I started the Bible it was daunting to figure out where to start. I would recommend starting with the five books of Moses, then Luke, Acts and Romans (because these are targeted specifically at Gentiles). Then return to the remaining gospels and the remaining letters of Paul. Afterwards perhaps take a stroll through the remaining Old Testament.

Encourage to read all the Bible over and over the rest of their life.

“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby” (1 Peter 2:2)

“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:13)

Praise God!!

Lord, please open Nick's eyes to the truth of the gospel and give him the Holy Spirit. I ask this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen

I prayed over my husband for about a year or more until he returned to Jesus!
Whenever we have a loved one in that situation, we just need to lift them up in prayer, but equally as important, release that burden to God. Carrying worry around with us demonstrates a lack of faith that God can move mountains and opens us up to attacks from the enemy (strife, health problems, anxiety, etc.)
