Got through Romans.... 2 months ago

and 1 Corinthians. Now on 2 Corinthians. It is taking me a long time because I am reading all the foot notes of the John MacArthur Study Bible…

Ok, I have now read Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, 1 Peter, 1 and 2 Timothy, 1, and 2 Thessalonians, Jude, Ephesians, Galations, 1 and 2 Corinthians, Romans, Acts, John, Luke and Matthew. I know Jude is out of order but it was such a short book.

I know I'm slow at realizing this goal.... 6 months ago

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!



so far 8 months ago

I’ve read, in this order, John, Matthew, Mark, Luke, Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, and right now I’m at 2 Corinthians 12.

yes I’m being slow, but hey, I’m not giving up, I’ll keep reading :)



new goal 11 months ago

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.

Today I finished reading Revelation, thus completing the New Testament. It was completely worth doing and made me pretty excited to read the Old Testament too. I had never sat down and read the whole thing – I’d read several of the books through, but that was it. It definitely gave new meaning to what I was reading to actually read the whole text and context rather than just bits and pieces. A very worthwhile endeavor that I can’t believe I never did before.

I didn’t really feel like reading yesterday, but once I got into it I read Acts. On to Romans today! I often find myself thinking “wow…why have I never stopped to read whole books of the Bible like this before?” I found Paul’s escapades in Acts to be really fascinating.
