Are you thinking of reading all of it? Here are some tips. Follow a plan. Starting at the beginning and just carrying on is not the easiest way. Most plans provide a mixture, either daily or over a week, of passages from the Old and New Testaments, with regular visits to the Psalms or Proverbs. Some plans have the Psalms and New Testament read twice. Other plans are themed - for example for each day of the week: Epistles; Law; History; Psalms; Poetry; Prophesy; Gospel. You could read the Bible chronologically [as it happened] or historically [as it was written]. Some plans, such as biographical or “highlights” only, are two or three month plans and do not cover the whole Bible. Develop a habit. One suggested rule is to read the Bible as early in the day as possible - “No Bible, no breakfast. No read, no feed” [Ray Comfort]. Choose a time and place to suit you. Set aside a regular time when you are able to concentrate. Have a way to remind you: calendar; email; RSS feed; Outlook tasks; spreadsheet; etc. Some schemes have readings for six days a week, which is useful if you occasionally miss a day. Make it interesting. You might want to try reading a different translation, listen to a podcast rather than read, find a partner for discussion or for mutual support. Read with a purpose, but always be open to something new. and helped us focus again. By the end of that day we had grown a lot closer together an come to appreciate so much of what we take for granted. We are so ignorant sometimes. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. If you are new to reading your Bible, don’t set your goals too high. You can read the New Testament in a year at one chapter, or less each The hardest thing we felt about Slum Survivor was remembering why we were putting myself day. That might be a better target than the whole Bible. Or choose a “highlights” plan ourselves out of our comfort zone. There were several times when we felt like giving up and and programme it to suit your pace. going home, like when the slum was destroyed, or when the lentils and rice made us feel sick, or when we lost our tempers with other people. These times really challenged each of us But first ... The Bible is God’s Word – to you. Each day, pray that you might learn from it. and we feel God really helped us persevere and remember the one billion people we were You should not read the Bible simply as a challenge - read with care, read with prayer.

Thank you to Darlene Zschech. Thank you to my parents, Vivienne Riches and Rodger Riches. Thank you also to Tim Sheerman. Your heart for worship, and patience with the permanent stack of Hillsong music set up in the lounge room makes this achievement as much yours as it is mine.
