We provide to you with over fifteen categories and genres of books. As Christians, we want to grow in the knowledge of God so that our love for Him will increase. If we want to give a proper defense or answer, we must know what Scripture says. So, we provide these categories for you to use as a tool to understand The Bible more effectively.
