I have been browsing Madelon Maupin's fascinating web site www.BibleRoads.com and came across Professor Grant Horner's Bible-Reading System, which was very happily launched in our household just 5 days ago. I love the way I'm not reading from just one book at a time, but from 10 books each day. It's fascinating how everything relates and how this keeps one truly excited about what's coming next.
I love what Prof. Horner says about HOW to read the Bible for this particular project, which he suggests we might try for just a month. I love his instructions for moving ahead with the reading, as I find I often find myself re-reading passages and this slows me down a lot.
He writes:
Read quickly (without "speed reading") in order to get the overall sense. Read as fast as you comfortably can with moderate retention. You're not studying deeply or memorizing; shoot for 5-6 minutes per chapter. At the end of a chapter, move immediately to the next list.
GET THROUGH THE TEXT - no dawdling, back reading, looking up cross-references!
Most people decrease their time spent and increase their retention after just two-three weeks!
What are YOU reading right now? Please write and tell us in the next couple of days...
