Bible reading in 90 days

http://www.faithvillage.com/article/d3dcc236387d463e8847180c5860895b/why_i_read_the_bible_every_90_days

This pastor makes a point of reading through the entire Bible four times a year. I think it is a great idea. I can get through the NT in about a month if I try, but I have never tried to read the entire Bible in a single season.

I have recently started using the CEB. It is such a breath of fresh air after coming from the KJV. It is very conversational and makes reading large sections much easier. I am able to read an entire gospel in one sitting. That is something I was never able to do before. Even if I don't stay with it will have been a good thing since it showed me that it is possible to read that much at one time. I read Matthew this morning in about an hour. I am pleased with that.  The fact that it is more easily understood will make it much more likely for me to keep up with my Bible study.

Welcome

Hello all. This is the first of hopefully many posts here on Christian Book Reviews. I will be reviewing Bibles and doctrinal books mostly. In the next few days expect the first review. It will be a commentary on Revelation. Hope to see you all there.
