Padding
Around the Bible in 80 Days
Part One - The Old Testament in 40 days
If you join me, we will read approximately 20 chapters a day for six days a week.
We will need to commit to reading for approximately half an hour or so each day.
We are allowed Sunday off for worship and to catch up if we need to!
This is intentional faith development so we will have to reach for the Bible instead of our novels, computers or television remotes.
I hope that this exercise will give an opportunity for God to speak to each of us in new ways and allow us to share the impact of our experience with others.
Prepare each day by asking God to open your eyes, ears and hearts to what you will read that day.
Read remembering this way of reading is about seeing the broad sweep of Scripture and not the detail.
