Maybe start to know what our Creator is like, his attribute, and what our Creator want us to do. If you don't trust that there is an Creator, you just have to find out whether if Bible is our Creator's word or not, and talk about truth or not(compare Bible with some science and history), because all things about Creator can be found from Bible.

I think this is a good start, because of course our Creator is the person with most wisdom. And simply, our Creator is the one who create us, so we must know why he create us to have a meaningful life.

Kind of an off-topic question; I've never read the bible and I thought this year would be a good time to do so. What version of the bible would you recommend? I've browsed online and notices that there many version but I don't which would be a good one to begin reading. Thanks :)

R. Crumb's Illustrated Genesis is a great way to start. https://www.amazon.com/Book-Genesis-Illustrated-R-Crumb/dp/0.... It's much easier to understand some of the customs with drawings. Only a small part of Genesis is supernatural, the rest is an epic human story.

For the rest of the bible, pick one with modern language. Although the antiquated language of the King James Version feels more serious, it's easy to misunderstand.

Maybe the original version. I heard things got lost in translation.
