Learn the books of the Bible (in order)

My son recently did this in his first grade class at school. He said that he could help me with it. :)

This has been a goal of perseverance and determination for me because I really hate memorizing anything, but this is important. Kerry, I hope that you’re still working on this goal, too. I’ll look forward to future posts from you in my inbox! :)

If anyone else is wanting to do this and needs a list, here it is:
Old Testament
Genesis
Exodus
Leviticus
Numbers
Deuteronomy
Joshua

II Samuel
I Kings
II Kings
I Chronicles
II Chronicles
Ezra
Nehemiah
Esther
Job
Psalms
Proverbs
Ecclesiastes
Song of Solomon (Song of Songs in some Bibles)
Isaiah
Jeremiah
Lamentations
Ezekiel

(Yeah, I typed that out from memory!)

Yea!

My goal is to have this one done by the end of March! (Yes, that does sound like I’m being under-ambitious…however I’m a very slow memorizer, and I want to know these permanently, not just so I can say I’ve done it and then forget about it again!) I’m excited about my consistency with this goal as of late, though! :)

Wow! How easily some of our goals can slide to the back burner! Anyway, I’m picking this back up again. I’ll be studying at least one time each day over the list until I can check this off my list.

Kerry, let’s get this one done soon! Good luck! :)

Genesis through Obadiah…Matthew through Revelation.

I’ve been studying these close to every day at least one or more times through. This seems to be my best method of learning. This is getting exciting! I may be able to check this off my list by the end of the year!

two additional books: Genesis through Daniel….Matthew through Revelation.

this week…I’ve got it on the agenda to work on every day this week. Hope to have a new entry with how much I’ve learned at the end of the week. Good luck, Kerry, with your goal! :D

I think that we’ve both slacked on this goal for a while…let’s try to learn 5 additional books by the end of next week, 9/24/05. What do you think?

Let’s see if I can still do it…

Gen, Ex, Lev, Num, Duet., Josh, Jud, Ruth, I/II Sam, I/II Kings, I/II Chr, Ezra, Neh, Esther, Job, Ps, Prov, Ecc, SOS, Is, Jer, Lam, [rest of OT]

Matt, Mk, Lk, Jn, Acts, Rom, I/II Cor, Gal, Eph, Philippians, Col, I/II Thess, I/II Tim, Tit, Philemon, Heb, Jas, I/II Pet, I/II/II Jn, Jude and Rev.

Oh my goodness! I really have done it! Well, at least I haven’t lost it! :D

I am still working on this goal. I sat here and wrote out the books tonight. I put a few in the wrong order. I am going to do this a few more days before I post again on what I have for my list currently.
