Bible Reading

If I were to be totally honest, I have never read my Bible cover to cover. I have read books, chapters; gone from here to there. I have started faithfully following a yearly reading program each January, but never followed through completely. I have attempted chronological readings, and shorter program readings with You Version on my Kobo...but I have not successfully completed a full reading.

So...I am creating this page for my own personal visual reminder to cross off as I read. The object of this exercise is not to follow any set reading program, I may well bounce back and forth between Old and New Testament readings, and I am not setting any kind of completion date or amount of reading per day. Schedules just do not seem achievable during this season of my life.

I usually read the King James version of the Holy Bible, but reading the English translation of the Greek Septuagint Bible has been recommended to me, with the reading of the apocrypha included. The Apostles Bible by Paul W. Esposito, is not available at a reasonable price to purchase, so I have decided to read the translation by Sir Lancelot C.L. Brenton 1851, available free online at The Common Man's Perspective by EC Marsh.

  2. I have found that reading from page to page doesn't work if you are wanting the messages to sink into the core of you. It just ends up being like any other book then. But if I ask the Holy Spirit to guide me to a specific book or topic, then I can take my time, soak up the versus and meditate on what the Holy Spirit is needing me to absorb better. I am remembering more and understanding better what wisdom is being taught to me this way. Your list here is good to have though, that way you can keep track of what you haven't gone into yet. I pray the Holy Spirit guides your reading and you absorb everything you take in. Many blessings to you.

  3. Many years ago my Pastor suggested three chapters a day through the week and five on Sunday. As the commenter wrote above many times the message doesn`t sink in. Paul inspires and comforts me. My favorite passages.
