There can be only one!
Recently reading the following sparked an enlightening exercise."If R.C. [Sproul] only had one book in prison: The Bible. Only one chapter: Isaiah 6. Only one verse: Genesis 15:6. Only one book from the Bible: Hebrews."
Hmm. What about me? This was harder than I thought it would be, but ...
If I was isolated somewhere (e.g., the joint), and was limited, I would want the following:
- Only One Book: Bible
- Only One Chapter: Isaiah 53
- Only One Verse: 2 Corinthians 5:21
- Only One Book from the Bible: John
How about you?

this is good bull, might be better than the starting 5 line-up we did when we had Spurgeon at Power Forward. Any ways, I'm going to say
Book:Bible
Chapter: Isa 53
Verse:Romans 8:3-4 (yes I cheated!)
Book: Matthew
-Tyler
Book: How to Escape from from an American Prison (State or Federal) by Theodore Browne (thank you G.K. Chesterton)
Bible Book: John
Chapter: Matthew 5–7 (probably chapter 6 if I can only have 1)
Verse: Phil 3:8–11
Book: Bible
Chapter: Ephesians 2
Verse: John 3:16
Book: John
That Ephesians 2 was my runner-up, Chris.
Matt, you're really pushing the envelope with Matt 5-7, but you'd be hard pressed to find a better triad of chapters in Scripture.
I'll have to investigate further this Theodore Browne book, for that's high praise.
Tyler, I still think Spurgeon would have made a great power forward.
Only One Book: The Purpose Driven Life
* just kidding *
Only One Book: The BIble
Only One Chapter: Ephesians 1
Only One Verse: Galatians 2:20
Only One Book from the Bible: John
Wow. Let's see . . .
Bible
Romans 8
Revelation 21:4
Psalms
Book: The Bible
Chapter: Proverbs 3
Verse: Psalm 34:19
Book: John
Only One Book: Bible
Only One Chapter: Psalm 91
Only One Verse: Galatians 5:1
Only One Book from the Bible: Psalm
that Isaiah 5. is good stuff. and that 2 Cor 5:21 powerful. Romans 8 is good and encouraging but I gotta have Psalms to put me in the right frame of mind to worship my Lord and really be in His presence.
Good questions though. Good fun.
