Reading through the entire Bible is important. Many people
have not read through it once.
Sometimes making smaller goals can help. If you have
been struggling to get through the entire Bible for years
try cutting yourself some slack.
Choose one book and master it.
Instead of knowing a little about sixty-six books, know a
lot about one book. This is not the end goal, but it will
reap more benefits than failing to get past Exodus every
January.
Read through your one book as many times
as you can; outline it; analyze it. Studying the questions
raised from just one book will force you through
many others.
I would choose one of Paul’s (they are shorter).
