I have seen websites that you can print out a sheet to help you read it through in a year.SandyLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055096417542595965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454081815232016436.post-66434138211502144942009-10-02T14:02:27.440-05:002009-10-02T14:02:27.440-05:00Well, I am about to turn 39, professed by faith, i...Well, I am about to turn 39, professed by faith, in Jesus, at age 7.... and yes I have not read the Bible cover to cover. <br />However... I AM working on it. At the end of February, I bought The One Year Bible. I was challenged to read it after a woman's conference. I LOVE IT. Each day is broken down to a passage from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalm, and then Proverbs. It is all in order. The reading for each day should only take about 15-20 minutes. I started end of February and will be starting Jeremiah tomorrow, in Phillipians, and continue in Psalms and Proverbs. It really makes it simple. <br /><br />I love reading both the Old and New at the same time. It brings both alive with what the Old Testament Jews lived and what the new church lived and how we are taught to live.<br /><br />If I get behind, by a couple of days, it is not hard to catch back up. <br /><br />I would encourage you to buy that, if you think the structure and only 15 minutes a day would do it for you. I do believe we are NOT alone and most people would confess they have not read it all either!Lisa@BlessedwithGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17071661413559588422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3454081815232016436.post-71116894839731656502009-10-02T12:21:01.337-05:002009-10-02T12:21:01.337-05:00I never have either. I have started to many times,...I never have either. I have started to many times, gotten through several of the first books then stop every time. I told Jason a while back that I LOVE to read, I can sit with a good Christian fiction book and finish it in a day or two. I not only love to read but I am a fast reader as well and here I am not reading the most IMPORTANT book on the planet. It is like pulling teeth to get myself to sit and start reading it. I too know alot of the bible, grew up learing about it, I want to live my life by it but I rarely read it. I am embarrassed to say that I often forget. Would I forget to read a love note Jason wrote me? No, so why do I forget to read a book from the one who matters the most? I think alot had to do with understanding the wording so this week I got a bible that I can read easily -(its in our current wording) and I am so excited to once again start my quest and actual follow through to the end. Lets hold each other accountable on this! :)Living the G life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06469577263192352593noreply@blogger.com
