There has been a sudden burst of interest in God's word! This means that the Bible has become a best-seller in Norway, overtaking Fifty Shades Of Grey.
In a surprising move in what is one of the most secular nations in Europe, a new Norwegian language version of the Scriptures has become the country's best-selling book. The country's fascination with God's message has also spread to the stage, with a six-hour play called 'Bibelen,' Norwegian for 'the Bible,' drawing crowds of 16,000 in a three-month run that recently ended at one of Oslo's most prominent theatres.
Officials of the Lutheran Church of Norway say they see the new-found interest in the Bible as proof that it still resonates in a country where only one per cent of the 5m residents regularly attends church.
Author Karl Ove Knausgaard, who helped with the new translation, said the Bible was just as relevant to us today.He said: 'Thoughts and images from the Bible still have an impact on how we experience reality.'
Enough said Daily Mail, I think this is brilliant don't you? Norway, that is the way to go "Heaven and earth will pass away but My words will not. So says the book of the Lord.
