Wow, tough question! Hmm..
Romans, Esther, Ruth, and Luke have to be my top favorites. Daniel is like my spiritual hero. I can tell you my list of un-favorites though...ugh, sometimes Deutoronomy, Leviticus, Numbers seem to serve no point! I mean, I know why they're important, but those are the books I call discipline books...you really gotta love the Lord to wade through them with enthusiasm. Jeremiah is hard to swallow too.

I'm still in the process of reading through the Bible, and not finished yet, but from what I've read so far I like John and Psalms. I like Paul in general (he's the Biblical figure I identify most with, but I suppose that's another topic altogether), and like his writings as well, like Romans and Ephesians.

I've enjoyed reading Job, myself. It's an interesting book.

My top two are Judges and Esther. Actually the last half of Exodus I found really boring. You can only read about the decorations on the lampstand for so long before you want to pull your hair out. :)

I like Genesis -- so many wonderful stories. (Some pretty awful ones, too, actually.) I also like the Gospel of John. I love the descriptions of nature in Job. Also, parts of Ezekiel and Revelations are pretty cool ... not the rivers of blood up to a horse's bridle, but the descriptions of Heaven and the Lamb, etc.

Daniel, Jeremiah (so many good word-pictures there), Matthew, Romans, James (gets right to the point!), and Philemon - short but potent.

I haven't read the whole bible yet, but this far i have liked Psalms, Romans, Genesis, John etc.
I dislike The Acts (don't know why though) and Kings and Chronicles for example.

Recently I have also come to appreciate the Minor Prophets. Generally the books as a whole are not my favorite (certainly not on the level of Job), but very often they have quite telling things within them.

Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Revelations, James, Psalms, Exodus, and Phillipians are my favorites. :) I think Ecclesiastes is my ultimate favorite book. :D

Life is not about us using God for our purposes, but about Him using us for His purposes.

Faith is not creating a false reality, but acknowledging God's promises for us.

The dreams I dream for you
Are deeper than the ones your clinging to
Let the old dreams die
Like stars that fade from view
And take the cup I offer
And drink deeply of the dreams I dream for you
-Avalon

Wow, I am suprised how many people really dig; "Ecclesiastes". It's my favourite book aswell. I havn't read the entire thing yet though.
I also like Acts, because they go out and do stuff, thats great.

Psalms, it's definitely a joyful and inspirational book. Also Romans, Matthew and Exodus are quite good too. But all-in-all, it's all good! *Thinks to himself; I just used a lot of All's....Oh well*

[color="DarkOrange"]"The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things... hey... the good things don't always soften the bad things; but vice-versa the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant." -11th Doctor

"The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case." - Chuck Close[/color]
