New52-Bible 90 Days Complete

I did it! I actually read the Bible in 90 Days! I completed it on the 1st of April, Day 89 of the reading plan. I found Chronicles and Psalms hard going but surprisingly enjoyed the prophets. I also found the Gospels hard going, I think I just don’t enjoy so much repitition in a short space of time. But I love John, it just seems so much more specific with the little things that Jesus said in a more natural way, well that’s how it seems to me. I also noted all the bickering amongst the Disciples, well I guess they were only human!

Reading the Bible in it’s entirity in such a short period of time really helped me follow get more of the historical facts in order and also made me realise that the New Testament is a lot shorter than the Old Testament. I mean, I knew it was, but it just became even clearer that a few thousand years versus less than 100 years of writing is a big difference.
 
I am still enjoying the New 52 challenge too, what has amaze me as I’ve done this challenge is that I actually do so many new things I just don’t have time to blog them all! What new things have you done lately?

It's so nice to hear that I was not the only one who found Psalms challenging! Last time around, it was my least favorite book of the Bible . . . all that whining! I'm hoping to keep a more open mind this time around and will look for the little gems.

Congrats on finishing!! What an amazing accomplishment!!

The New Testament is definitely shorter than the Old - and so much easier to read, too!

Congratulations on a job well done!

Your fellow Spring '11 grad,
