For those of you who do not read the whole Bible and think you should have, and still want to but don't start because the prospect is too daunting, let me make it easy for you.
If you are a very slow reader, you will be able to read the whole Bible in 80 hours. How do I know? You can get the whole Bible read aloud on CDs. You can hear it all in 72 hours with nothing left out.
If you have a cellphone, you may read it in many different versions with a Bible app.
If you have a paper version, here is a painless and profitable way to read the Old Testament and New Testament. Each day read one chapter in four different places, two if they are short chapters. Start with Genesis 1, Ezra 1, Matthew 1 and Acts 1. This will take you no more than 20 minutes. The next day, read chapter two in each of these four books. At the end of one year you will have read all of the Old Testament, the New Testament twice and the Book of Psalms twice.
You will want to read it again.
If the genealogies stop you, skip them, but do not stop.
