A book of promises, such as;

24Who can snatch the plunder of war from the hands of a warrior?

Who can demand that a tyrant^d let his captives go?

25But the Lord says,

“The captives of warriors will be released,

and the plunder of tyrants will be retrieved.

For I will fight those who fight you,

and I will save your children.....Isaiah 49

God is Love!~Jesus saves!

The Bible is a small window through which we can take a peek at the Kingdom.

As well a window to the past that reveals examples of how miserably human kind has managed to shape their future when avoiding close Divine  oversight.

Wonderful, exciting, deep. It brings me to the throne of God

To me, the Bible is:

The story of God (The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), in which details on Christ are given throughout the book, from beginning to end, so that we get more of the story and His activity and interaction with humans than just the part where He was on Earth in human form. 

It contains warnings for the future and is a guide for preparing for eternity.

It is also a manual for obtaining victory over our lives and experiencing true freedom.

It is a time traveling device which allows us to travel back in time to the beginning of the Earth, and even to the rebellion in Heaven, allowing us also to occasionally visit that glorious kingdom, and takes us to the present and the future as well.

It is a comfort and a counsel, and I often find the morning devotion prepares me for challenges I'll face during the day, and as I read I can understand better and see things I may not have noticed before, depending on what I've been through in life and/or am going through, and see how it really applies.

It is a description of God's love and character.

We can learn a lot even just through what we read on the surface, but the Bible is a rich storehouse of treasures, intended to be explored and dug into. There's more treasure under the surface, and it is intended to be studied, and the meanings of some things to be searched out.

I've discovered inconsistencies and realize that it only validates the credibility of the Bible, because two or more people are telling the same story, though it be from different perspectives. Even though they may not be on the same page as to exactly what happened, there appears to be more than one witness, so the Bible in that aspect establishes itself "by the mouth of two or more witnesses". 

It's full of little gems, or "easter eggs", adding to the adventure.

It's also a way to escape temporarily from the stressors of life, leading us to the One who can give us peace, and also giving us counsel on how to deal with these stressors. 

It is so much more to me. It is my life.

The Bible is great if you are just beginning to seek God, or if you have known him for many years. I find that my days go way better after a quiet time with my Bible.

Buried radioactive treasure.

One of the things I think of the Bible of is, in addition to many of the things listed, a history book.
