The Apocrypha

Today, I finished the selections I had chosen to read from the Apocrypha. I read the books of 2Esdras, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, Baruch, Letter of Jeremiah, 4Maccabees and Psalm 151 in the RSV.
Of these, the book I liked the best, or maybe rather the book that had the most meaning for me, was the book of Sirach. The meaning of the others to my life seemed a little more distant if you know what I mean by that; some searching was required to see the message for me.
I will now move on the the New Testament now where I plan to read all of it.
