"The Bible is so dangerous that some Christians risk persecution to have one. But for Pope Francis, its life-changing role in daily life is important too.
"'The Bible is not meant to be placed on a shelf, but to be in your hands, to read often - every day, both on your own and together with others,' he wrote in the prologue to a Bible for youth in Germany.
"He encouraged young people to read the Bible together the way they play sports or go shopping together."
A recent National Catholic Register article reported on the encouragement Pope Francis gave in his prologue (with a link to an English translation of his words).
