At noon on November 14, people from across the world will find creative ways to celebrate their love for the Bible, whether through social media, musical performances or flash mobs. That’s what International Day of the Bible is all about—finding exciting new ways to champion God’s Word for a watching world.

While an elaborate public performance may not be your cup of tea, you can still deepen your love for God’s Word this International Day of the Bible. Here are three ideas to inspire you as you engage and share God’s Word in your home, workplace and neighborhood. Give them a try! Ask God to breathe fresh life into your faith journey as you experiment with his life-changing Word.

1. Pick out a new Bible.
   To stoke your love for God’s Word, branch out from the format or translation that you’re most comfortable with. Read your favorite Bible passage in an unfamiliar translation. Consider downloading one of the countless Bible apps that are on the market today. Or if you want to add a beautiful Bible to your personal library, here are some tips for selecting a new Bible with awe and wonder.
2. Listen to the Bible read out loud.
   There’s something special about engaging God’s Word with our ears. When we listen to the Bible read aloud—just like the early Israelites and Christians—it’s as though God is speaking directly to us. Here are recordings of some classic Scripture passages to help you rediscover the power and beauty of God’s Word.
3. Talk about the Bible.
   A lot of us say that the Bible is our favorite book, but we’re too scared to talk about the Bible in public. Talking about God’s Word doesn’t have to be scary and it doesn’t have to be “preachy.” Try weaving the Bible into everyday conversations and see how God enriches your relationships.
