Through the Bible in 90 Days

Jill and I are having a great time reading the Bible in 90 days, along with our church. We have taken the B-90 Challenge. We have been at it for one week, and we are already through Genesis and Exodus. It is really entertaining to read the Bible at this rate. Sure, some of the genealogies are a bit dry, but they are important to the overall understanding of the saga.

I once had occasion to read the Bible in 60 days. It was a great experience, but I think 90 days is a nicer pace. Using the B-90 Challenge Bible, it is a mere 12 pages a day of reading. I have tried the "Bible in a year" plans, but they go so slowly that you can't really keep track of the story. Then I lose interest and fail to continue...usually somewhere in Leviticus.

So, if you haven't read through the Bible recently, I recommend this plan. If you are a believer, you really need to read through the Bible periodically: it is God's love letter to you. If you are not a believer, reading through the Bible can't hurt you, and it has been such a powerful influence in the world for the past 3,500 years that you really ought to know what is in it.
