Elizabeth, that's a spelling variation between UK and US English. I'm in the UK, where 'recognised' is the correct spelling.

Don't get discouraged because of being picky about spelling or the english. They know what the you are saying. I thank God that you are taking the time to help others get interested in learning the Bible and share their comments.You are doing a great Job! May God bless you.

The story of Joseph is like a rejected stones becoming a cornerstone

What do you make of this chapter? What do you think of my summary? How would you summarise it?

I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.
