Bible 180 kicks off Wednesday and, to get you ready here’s a pretty simple, but critical question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Bible will you read? And do you have it ready to go?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve signed up for the Bible 180 emails <\/a> (it’s free, Yo) I will provide the reading schedule each day. You can choose any translation of the Bible\u00a0you prefer to read. Or, yes, if you want to listen, you can do that, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be successful at this, it’s important to be intentional and be prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SO: Will you listen or read? Will you use a digital Bible or a physical one? And which Bible\u00a0will it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven’t made this decision yet, NOW IS THE TIME!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve read the entire Bible cover to cover (several times!!), and I have found that the best one for me is an NIV Thinline. (I even bought a brand new one for myself for this reading. I’m pretty excited!!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy NIV Thinline?\u201d you may ask\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, it is compact, uses a readable font size, and has minimal footnotes and cross-references. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a LOT of reading ahead of us. To get it all done, you really do need to focus on the reading<\/strong> part of what we are doing and let the studying <\/strong>part go. Footnotes and cross-references can get anyone caught up in lots of ideas competing for your time. Save the researching and cross-referencing for later. We are just READING for the next 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, study Bibles and life application Bibles are great. But one with minimal footnotes really is better. This is one I bought:  NIV Thinline on Amazon<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(That is NOT an affiliate link.) It’s $11, it’s compact. And it’s the perfect one for this task. A few years back, there was a similar Bible that Ted Cooper used for Bible in 90 Days. Eventually, Zondervan even published a 90 Day version at his urging. For this <\/em><\/strong>task, I’d go with this one<\/a>.  But don’t let the decision to purchase a new Bible stop you. If you have one at home you’d rather use, go for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So… what Bible will you use? Will you listen or read? Will you use a digital Bible or physical book? And which Bible will it be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
