reading the bible is like eating the more you read the more it will strengthen you it can ease problems because when you have problems and any discouragement just read the bible - it has many answers your grandmother would like you to read it because it changes her life just look at your grandmother is she bad she cares for you regards to your grandmother, i hope you give your grandmother a chance to do her request to you i bet it will really change your life because i have experienced it bible doesn't have any artistic value yes, because it focus in spiritual value because if the bible has an art people would not appreciate the message of God but instead to the artistic value i hope this will help you if you have questions about the bible i am willing to answer you and i can also help in you in studying it

Yes, I have. And it's quite an odd book, really. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone because it's poorly written and lacks any artistic value. It's just because so many people actually believe in it, that people still read it. I think you're better off reading some classics like Animal Farm or something written by Franz Kafka.

If you'd like to remain logical, steer clear.

I read the bible every day!... It's a great book! has many histories and only you will know how is the bible if you read first! but I think... if your grandmother says this to you it's because very important ! and the bible it's a important book... If you wanna find the true, the true is in the bibe! God bless you!

well, the Bible, the old and and new testament is a global inheritance which has been maintained for at least 3000 years and 2000 years accordingly. The 'old' is respected by Jewish, Muslim and Christian cultures while the 'new' from christian only. I've read both from the ancient Greek text many times since i have the opportunity to do so. Having an individual judging any of the global spiritual inheritance documents is at least immature (i am just being mild :) ) There's a lot i can add while talking about the Bible but i guess one's reading can't be much of a harm. It's much worse accepting any religious tradition without having read any of the fundamental documents related to this religion.
