    Second try 4 months ago

    I’ve tried doing this before but I just got bored with some of the Old Testament Books. I’ve read all of the New Testament. Hopefully this time I’ll have more patience with the Old Testament.



    after 13 months ago

    I’m going to start after finals



    Not Cover to Cover 14 months ago

    When I took a religious class, I asked why it’s so hard to read the Bible through. Was told to not think of the Bible as one book, but as a series of books. So take one “book” at a time and start reading.

    If that becomes difficult too, purchase a Bible that has daily readings and interpretations. This way, you can do daily short readings and have an idea of what the lesson is supposed to be about.

    I’m taking a ‘Suffering and Christian Healing’ class in school. It’s kinda made me read the Bible. Just wish I could understand more…



    I was reminded of Mass in F Minor: Music: The Electric Prunes 2 years ago

    Which rocks!



    Over and over 2 years ago

    I did it back in 1990, and actually, the first time I “listened ” to it on cassette tapes. I was hooking up a stereo/tv something for a friend, and he had this set on his desl. I aksed about it, and he said his Mom gave it to him for Xmas and he ahd never opened it. I offered to give it a listen and see if it was any good, so he loaned it to me. I had read parts of the Bible, Genesis, The book of Ruth, Psalms, and the Gospel of John, all at the suggestion of friends as I was searching for an answer to why religion, particularly Christianity, seemed so lame to me, while I still felt a need for spiritual food, growth, or something. I also had read some of the Bhagivad Gita, excerpts of the Koran, the Book of Mormon, I Ching, and all of the Tao Te Ching. Of all of that Lao Tsu had seemed the most pertinent to me. However, my path became less tortuous as I read the Bible front to back. I have since listened to it several times, as well as read it through. It has greatly expanded my consciousness, and lead me to new heights. I recommend it.



    Routine is the key. 2 years ago

    I’ve read the bible from cover to cover twice now and plan to do it again soon. For me, it was important to know I wasn’t missing out on anything.
    Although most of it is quite gripping and easy to read, there are parts that can get a bit boring. You have to decide in advance not to give up at these points – it’s too easy to quit otherwise.
    What really helps is having a routine. I used to read for approx 20 minutes after breakfast 5 days a week. You’ll be surprised how fast the pages go by if you read some every day.



    Read the Bible from cover to cover 2 years ago

    I’ve done this several times. I use a guidebook called “How to read the Bible in one Year” or something like that. I’ve read both the KJV and the NIV.

    I didnt do it one sitting, but one week when i was 13?(give or take)at summer camp, I read the whole old testament and then since then i have read the rest. It’s definatly a great expirience, although some books are a bit odd…. mainly Leviticus
