1. Who is your favorite Biblical personage, other than Jesus?
St. John, the Evangelist, the one whom Jesus loved.

2. What is your favorite book of the Old Testament?
It has to be a three - way tie between Psalms, Isaiah, and Song of Songs. They are all beautiful and provide hope, encouragement, and comfort. Isaiah is my favorite prophet.

3. What is your least favorite book of the Old Testament?
Numbers which, to me, is synonymous with monotony.

4. What is your favorite non-gospel book of the New Testament?
1 Corinthians

5. What is your life verse?
I'm not exactly sure what a life verse is, but the following two passages have had a powerful influence in shaping my life:

"You shall be a glorious crown in the hand of the Lord, a royal diadem held by your God...you shall be called 'My Delight' and your land 'Espoused'. For the Lord delights in you, and makes your land his spouse. As a young man marries a virgin, your Builder shall marry you, and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride, so shall your God rejoice in you."

~Isaiah 62: 3-5

"The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has annointed me; he has sent me to bring glad tidings to the lowly, to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners, To announce a year of favor from the Lord and day of vindication by our God, to comfort all who mourn; to place on those who mourn in Zion a diadem instead of ashes, To give them oil of gladness in place of mourning, a glorious mantle instead of a listless spirit. They will be called oaks of justice, planted by the Lord to show His glory."

~ Isaiah 61: 1-3
