@srmsingsforyou Apart from being able to listen on the go, I must confess my "young" eyes sometimes struggle to read. Don't wish to upgrade to large print just yet - if ever ☺️
@srmsingsforyou Thank you very much 🙏 I did an hour while walking earlier, but it's not quite the same as sitting still and doing what you suggest. It's going to take everything in me not to stop and look up a word or pause and marvel at something I missed in previous readings.I really want to do this, so I shall try what you suggest. Thank you 🙏🙏
I have read the Bible from May 2020 to Nov 2022. It was consistent daily. Going on my second started in Nov 2022 started from Genesis again. Yes Jesus prophesies was in the Old Testament. I read it, it's in Psalms, Proverbs, Isaiah. What an experience . You do see things a lot different . Jesus, he is compassionate, always said yes to the needy, never said no who needed his help. But he was also sort of a bass ass. He had a back bone, he wasn't afraid to call you out. The way he won arguments against the haters was show their hypocrisy. He's now a mentor. And scripture says? He's alive. Once I got that, changed my life. Proverbs also . Wowww where was that book when I was 12 13. Download Proverbs to your heart and mind . Download the Gospels as well especially Beatitudes. Build around that. I'll be reading the Bible for the rest of my life. I love it. Everyone should experience it. Something may happen.
1. This might sound obvious after I say it, but many people might not be aware of it: It's super helpful to read a reader's Bible, especially if you want to read the Bible quickly. Such as in a few months. 😊 2. A reader's Bible makes the text of the Bible look like a novel or other similar book. A reader's Bible is single column, not double columns. Black text. Beautiful font and type setting. A reader's Bible removes verse and usually chapter numbers too. Chapters and verses are very good for referencing and study, but they can get in the way of reading. Keep in mind that the Bible didn't have chapter and verse numbers until approximately the year 1200 (thanks to Stephen Langton) and 1550 (thanks to Robert Estienne) respectively. Hence, for well over a millennia, Christians didn't have chapter and verse numbers. As Mark Ward has said (watch his free video on Bible typography which is in part about why we should have reader's Bibles, and plus it is just fun if you're into beautiful Bibles), it'd be nice to see a bifurcation in the Bible market between Bibles for reading and Bibles for studying. Reading to see the forest, studying to see the trees. Instead many Bible publishers combine or conflate the two types of Bibles into one Bible. A Bible with double columns, cross references, footnotes, concordances, maps, etc. Again, all these are good for referencing and studying, but they're often distracting when it comes to just sitting down and enjoying the reading experience. In short, the entire design - the look and feel and layout and so on - of a reader's Bible is meant to be aesthetically pleasing in order to inspire people to read more of the Bible. Beauty in the service of Bible literacy! And we live at a time and in a place where not enough people are reading the Bible. Biblical literacy is diminishing each year in the West. So it'd be good if more people could read the Bible. Reader's Bibles encourage all this. 3. There are reader's Bibles available in most translations. Personally I most love the ESV and the CSB. Both have beautiful and affordable one volume reader's Bibles (as well as more pricey multi volume reader's Bibles). But I've also seen reader's Bibles in the NIV, NLT, and NKJV, for example. In any case, there are affordable reader's Bibles available in most of major evangelical translations. As Augustine wrote, take up and read! 😊
This is amazing . I had a thought the other day as if anyone in the new age has ever read the whole Bible and how great of challenge it would be to do it . Thank you so much .
This is awesome!🔥 I been knocked out of my reading for so long now. I also heard a Bible teacher that I’ve been blessed by hugely. Interesting thought he had… - He said “I would rather have the Bible go through me once versus me going through it numerously”.
Already slowed myself down with notes 😔 Found an answer to a question that always troubled me, so HAD to highlight so next time an unbeliever comes at me, I'm ready!
I have read the bible every year for 25years and I want stop when i first got saved the preacher told us to read it for yourself and i started and one year a elder lady in my church gave up her tv time and read the bible 6 times that year so i started to and i was surprised the i read it 6 times to now this year i am on my 3 time around
I have no idea how many times I have read the Bible cover to cover. The shortest was in a month. Multiple times a year. I now look back 27 years later, and all my other Reasing on Christian history and everything Christian, and think all those hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a years, and it didn’t help a single person. Is that really what Christianity is about?
I've read it a lot likely more than anyone in history. I made some new discoveries to do with prophecy in the bible. Well a lot. One important one is Revelation 1-12 happened 70 AD when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem but Rev 13-22 is future still. I'd recommend all OT, and NT apocrypha/pseudipigrapha, and Josephus also.
How did you read the Bible in 2-3 months? It seems to be hard to read it through. I’ve tried to read it through and I keep having a hard time in exodus it seems to be the book I stop in smh 🤦♂️
I think we all understand. Just like for the beauty and surprise and what each chapter may be revealing about the heart of God. And, maybe skip Exodus and come back to it..? 😊🤷
God knew he will trick them but at the same time he allowed that to allow for the conditions in which eve and adam could make their free decision of eating the fruit or not.
It's not speed reading. Just plain reading. You're probably part of the 99% of Christians who've never bothered to actually read ALL 66 books. I'm willing to bet on it.
I’ve done it in 58 days.
I’m 79 and have read the Bible every year since I was 4. From 2003 I have had to read the Bible 3 times a year so I don’t forget any of it.
what did you learn?
The most important part is to invite the Holy Spirit to read it with you. He shows you unsearchable things. Reveals many mysteries. Great Job!
Thanks you for sharing! I agree when you read the entire Bible in shorter periods of time things begin to flow together.
If you say NO to some things in order to say YES to our Lord, God is almighty and sees it. Putting God first is always a good idea. God bless you all.
Although I enjoy reading, I find it easier to audio version, using You Version Bible, ESV.

Would like to read through at least once a year. Thank you 💕

Hope you continue .
Hope i can also do same .
Jim Kwik gives some great insights for reading fast.
I've been reading the Bible in 6 months. But I will do it in 3 months. It will probably take me 60-90 minutes per day. I'm not a fast reader like her.
Very cool, go get it! Let us know how it goes.

I know a man who’s read it once a week for a year (a couple times).
What's meant to be impressive about how fast it's read? Why not just pick a longer book?
Kent, stop interrupting the guest, rude

Keep playing through. It might take a couple times but believe it or not Leviticus is now one of my favs!
God is indeed the same at all times but dispositions are real.
One of the scariest stories of the bible is how God tricked Eve, because he knew the Serpent was cunning. And God gave the Serpent center stage. WOO
God knew he will trick them but at the same time he allowed that to allow for the conditions in which eve and adam could make their free decision of eating the fruit or not.
Does Aimee Romero have any social media page?
I don’t think so, she’s anti-social in that regard i suppose. 😊
He said “ what is it, 66 books? Lol. also the Bible isn’t meant to be a speed reading book.
It's not speed reading. Just plain reading. You're probably part of the 99% of Christians who've never bothered to actually read ALL 66 books. I'm willing to bet on it.
Jesus has provided for to read the Holy Bible in 31 days
73 books ...
66
Did you pick up all the contradictions from the false apostle Paul?
Lol. How do you identify a "false apostle" when the "real apostles" cosign them?
@@bigol9223 You mean Rome confirmed Paul in 2 Peter 3:15-17.
@@bigol9223 A false apostle teaches a different gospel to what Jesus taught. It's that simple.
