It was really the commitment to do this, but especially the desire. Completed this goal during my freshman year in college, and completed most of the reading the fall semester of my sophomore year when I was taking a break from my academics.
I still read the Bible of course, but no matter how many times I read it over and over… I always learn something new. I don’t read because it’s an obligation, but just to be relational with the Creator – my Father. It’s His love letter to me <3 1 day ago
The best thing about going to my university has been joining the church group I’m involved in. Not only do I have a lot more opportunities and reasons to read my Bible, but I also have a crowd of people who I can feel completely comfortable around all the time. 1 week ago
just started a new job ander have a 3 hour lunch break…. what better way of having a better Bible Study!!! God is so great. i also met a fellow Christian who is going to read this book with me… God bless everyone 1 week ago
I love reading the New Testament, especially the Gospels; I have since I was a kid. I always enjoyed the parables, the Sermon on the Mount, the miracles… But I’m having a lot of trouble approaching the Old Testament. It’s long and it’s confusing, but I know it’s an important foundation needed to fully understand the Bible as a whole. But honestly, I’ve never been able to make it past Genesis. 1 week ago
I’m new on this goal. My name is SkyBird Winged, but you all can call me Sky or Bird if you want.
The reason I joined this goal is because I want to read the bible, but I don’t really know where to start. I know a bit about the bible because of my old church, but my family stopped going to church.
Anyway, I hope you all are having a wonderful time reading the bible. 1 week ago

I started Matthew last night, just need to read a little bit each day! It’s a good first step though :-) 2 weeks ago
Ezra -> done (time used well while waiting on people) 2 weeks ago
I’m going to set aside a time to do this every day. I have an NIV ‘Bible in a year’ which I tried to stick to last year but things got in the way. This year I’m going to use my university’s ‘quiet room’ – a room reserved for ‘prayer and reflection.’ That should help me to get into the rhythm. 3 weeks ago
Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God”
I started reading the bible. I asked God to let His words speak to me and that I may have the understanding to know His words.
This was the verse that spoke to me strongly. At that moment, I realized it wasn’t of my own doing of wanting to read this book and wanting to hear His words. It is His gift. 4 weeks ago
to read ephesians and revelation… guess we’ll see where this leads! 4 weeks ago
