How to read the New Testament
It made me
Accomplished. 
"Long but well worth it."
How I did it: At first I just read the bible, but I couldn't really get myself going. It seemed like too big of a task.
Then I remember that in a livejournal community someone had posted the whole new testament in mp3. I went back to that community but the link had been taken down. I had listened to some of Mark on it.
And knew it was Faith by Hearing that made that audio bible. So I found their website and downloaded the audio bible again.
This was a great help to me. I starting reading and getting though books faster.
I mostly read at night went everyone else was asleep. So I knew I won't interrupted or distracted.
Lessons & tips: I really think that listening to an audio bible can help people get though the New Testament. It was easier for me to keep working at it when I saw that book was 15 minutes long. It felt more doable.

As a former Catholic I know a lot of the Bible stories and principles… But as an adult I want to read this for myself so I can interpret everything on my own and without outside influences.

I am currently on Romans. I think what is taking me so long is that I am using a John MacArthur Study Bible, and, yes, I am reading all the foot notes! Well worth the work, though, I just may be at this for a few years! I hate to see how long it will take for me to get through the Old Testament!

I had read “The Bible’s Greatest Stories” by Paul Roche, which was very readable, surprisingly thorough way to get to the bible. Unfortunately, since the focus was on stories, some of the New Testament got short shrift. While Roche did a great job combining the gospels into a readable narrative, nothing after Acts got covered, as the book ends with Paul being shipwrecked in Malta. So I’ll give the whole new testament a read and broaden my knoweldge of Christianity.
