Like many pastors, I try to read a wide variety of books in a good variety of disciplines.  I enjoy the growth that the variety brings and the “cross pollination” of ideas. It seems that it makes for better preaching…but that’s just me.
This month, though, I made a decision to only read the Bible. I still read a little news each day, but it has been cut way back and at times I would normally reach for another book it is the Word instead.
By the end of this evening, I should finish Exodus. It seems that all 66 books might be within reach in 29 days, but I’ll let you know.
Marty,
You would choose February (the shortest month) to pull off such a feat, wouldn’t you. But, then again, you are doing it a leap year so it’s not so much of a challenge as you would have us to believe :)
Blessings to you as you read through the Bible in a
yearmonth (and an extra day)!Comment by Seminary Student — February 4, 2008 @ 11:18 pm
What version are you reading?
Seriously, Great idea

Kevin-
I was going to read the New Living Translation just for a change, but didn’t have one close by to use. I went for the default NKJV, but will probably go ahead and change after the Torah.

Thanks! I’m hoping the extra 24 hours will make a difference.
