So I've never really read the bible except for maybe a couple of pages. What's the best way to read it? It's so big! Should I start with an audio book or app? If so what do people recommend?

If you've never really read it, I'd suggest starting with the gospels. Maybe read Mark first and then John. Then look at some of Paul's letters, and Acts. Once you've got a bit of a handle on the New Testament, look at some of the Old Testament and see how the OT points forward to what the NT describes.

I would at least start with the beginning of Genesis. That way you KNOW exactly why we need a Savior, and then move onto the New Testament if you don't have time to go through too much else of the OT. I like the book of Romans because it really speaks about salvation.
