A Good Book! OK, well, you had to know that joke was coming. It took me more than a year (19 months) to read this one-year Bible, but I'm sure glad I did. It gave me a good sense of the sweep of the book, and I learned some more about crevices of biblical history about which I was previously completely ignorant. I had a few key takeaways:
--I dig the New Testament.
--Ditto the Psalms.
--Worshipping idols = not a good idea.
--No matter how much you might doubt God, and no matter how tempting it might be to start worshipping idols like X group next door, it is really, really not a good idea to start worshipping idols.
Of course, I also experienced a great bit of fantastic literature, found that I loved books I barely knew existed (Sirach?), and grew in my faith. Keep an eye on this book...I really think it's got a chance to be successful.
