I am so happy that you have turned to Jesus! Praise the Lord! I'm glad that you're trying to read and understand the Bible, too. I know a lot of it doesn't make sense, especially in the OT, but it can be explained. There a lots of great bible commentaries and studies out there, as well as some really good books. Just go to your local Christian book store and pick some up. One great study is The Great Adventure by Jeff Cavins. He's so knowledgeable. The site is thegreatadventureonline.com and you can locate one in your area. Also, (I know I'm gonna get some feedback about this but....) I use The Catholic Youth Bible. I know it's for teens, but it's really easy to understand. I suggest finding a nice (Catholic) church. You're gonna have to figure out the denominations yourself, so you should just research them and their history. I know you'll, by the grace of God, figure this out. Probably the best thing you can do is pray, for God nevers lets you down. I know you're going through some really tough times right now, but everything happens for a reason. If you use this time alone to strengthen your faith and knowledge, you can come out of it a new and better person. I want you to know that I will be praying for you, and you are never alone... you have Jesus and us! I hope that one day you will be able to discover Christ's Church and Real Presence in the Eucharist. God Bless!
