Reading the entire Bible in only 90 days – again

Posted on by

This will be my second go-around reading the entire Bible in only 90 days. I read last summer after discovering the program hosted at Mom’s Toolbox. Earlier this year, I mentored a group of other women reading because I knew how important that encouragement to keep going is – especially when bogged down in a long Old Testament book.

This time I’m only reading and definitely popping into Twitter for the #B90days chatter. In fact, it was during that Twitter banter that I got the idea to re-read again for the summer.

I know! I’m a wild and crazy gal. Reading the entire Bible twice in two summers. (Don’t make fun of me to my face, okay? I’m sensitive.)

Why read the entire Bible with all it’s boring bits? All that stuff in Numbers and Leviticus and . . . all those dead prophets?

Yeah. All that crazy stuff.

Moses and Elijah are going to be talking about those good ole days in heaven and you won’t be able to follow the conversation because you never read about it. What if there is a pop quiz in heaven?

Kidding.

Because it’s our history. If you are a follower of Christ, then it’s the backbone of your faith too. And don’t you think you should at least read it all through cover-to-cover, Genesis to Revelation, at least once?

If you have never read the entire Bible before, but can’t seem to get it together, this is the group for you.You can’t beat the accountability and encouragement, we even have fast moving Twitter chats on night of the week if you need

The next round of Read the Bible in 90 Days is starting soon – January 3, 2011. Are you up to the challenge?

I joined in with the summer group – and let me assure you – this is not a reading challenge for wimps. You will read a lot of Scripture daily. I think the average is ten chapters a day. But it’s totally do-able. You gotta hustle. You gotta work it with finding time to read, but the benefits! So many.

Discipline to read.

Spiritual growth.

Knowledge of the Story.

Why Jesus is so radical.

Believer: if you have never read the Bible in it’s entirety, I implore you to join this challenge.

Many people will be reading with you.

The community at Mom’s Tool Box is strong.

Many are on Twitter to encourage you.

There is accountability in the community.

Will I see you there?


I finished!

I did it! I read the entire Bible in only 90 days. I kept up with the daily readings without too much effort, but at the Type-A Mom conference, I fell several days behind and had to catch up quickly if I wanted to finish with the group. That was my goal from the start, to be done in 90 days, so I read a large chunk of the New Testament in only two days.

Now that it’s over, I’m can say I’m glad I stuck with it. To be sure, there are large portions of the Old Testament that are tough to get through. There is a lot of negativity; I’m thinking of the nation of Israel and her lack of obedience, all those terrible kings and a lot of infomation that doesn’t seem important to us today (yup, I’m thinking of you, Book of Numbers).

But I get it now. Reading the Bible from cover to cover gives you a better perspective on the Story – I say it with a capital S because it deserves one. That’s The Story and we – right now where we are – are also part of the Story. God’s Story of mankind. When Jesus arrives on the scene in the book of Matthew and the Jewish leaders don’t know what to do with Him because He is so different and radical – it makes sense why they reacted that way. Those leaders were still in the OT and Jesus came to turn all that Law on it’s head.

Don’t take my word for it. Read the Bible for yourself to see what I’m talking about. Read the OT. I know it’s not at the top of your reading list, but you need it as back story for when you turn the page to start the Gospels. Jesus – our teacher, our savior, our Lord – will show you a new way, a way that we can do and live beyond the law found in the Old Testament.

Amy will be hosting another Bible in 90 Days. I encourage you to join the group. I believe reading together with a group can make all the difference in your success. The Twitter community at #B90days helped immensely.
