STARTING TODAY…want to join? :-)
Sarah and Stephen are doing a special “project” this fall. Yesterday Sarah sent out an e-mail to the Bright Lights summer traveling team, inviting them to do the same.
Anyone interested in doing a “speed read” through the Bible with me? (I’m thinking of something like 15 chapters a day, starting tomorrow and finishing Dec. 31st.) It’s something I’ve been interested in doing for a while, and now that conference season is over, it seems like a good time! …For me personally, I know that the fall/winter is a season where I can spend extra time in personal study and disciplines…I think my plan is to read 9 chapters in the morning (starting in Genesis), 2 chapters at lunch (Psalms and Proverbs), and 4 chapters before bed (starting in Matthew). But I’m sure each day will vary. 
Love,
Sarah
Although it’s great to slowly digest a chapter or do word studies, there is a special perspective and understanding you receive when you read through the Bible at a faster pace. It causes you to step back and see the whole picture at once. I’m not doing it this time, but I wanted to put the idea out there in case any of you would like to join! If you are doing it too we’d love to hear from you!

I’ll give it a try!

Ooooo! I think I should do this! I’ve been wanting to get through the entire Bible, but haven’t quite succeeded. I think this would be my best bet. After completing it, one could always go back and re-read certain sections that needed more time.

Thank you for the idea Grace! I am going to start this evening– thank you for sharing!

This is a great idea! I am going for it, but honestly I have an intense fall schedule and don’t know if I will be able to follow all the way through.
October 12th, 2011 at 9:34 pm
This is a wonderful idea! Thanks so much for sharing. I am starting tomorrow!

I don’t think I’ll join this time, but I will be praying for all those who do! Wonderful idea! =) What a blessing God’s Word is!

I am going to give it a try, but because of my busy fall schedule, I don’t know if I will make it all the way through by December 31st. Thanks for the encouragement!

That’s my FB site and only invites can read it.
Grace/Sarah, I like this reading plan for a good overview. While I am “retired”, I still feel as young as you are, in many ways. I’m still me, and I’m grateful the Lord has raised your family up to learn from Him and others, and to minister to others as well.
I’m keeping you all in my prayers. Need to write again. It has been awhile since I’ve “spoken” with Sarah, and each of you. I’ve mostly spoken to Sarah, though.

Have you heard of Bible in 90 days?? Great ministry with an incredible man of God. They have a program set up to read through the entire Bible, cover to cover, like a novel, in 90 days. Great way to see God’s story as a whole. And great program too….

I think that is a really cool idea. i went to the conference in Willoughby, Ohio. I am just starting to follow your blog, and got to this article. I really like the idea. I am going to do it. And I will tell my friend about it too. She was also at that conference.
