Last year I wrote about reading the whole Bible in a year. The BibleInAYear website doesn't seem to exist anymore, but I recently completed a second full read, this time using OneYearBible.net with the paraphrase version "The Message".

OneYearBible doesn't send daily emails like BibleInAYear did, but instead it provides a website login with calendar tracking. OneYearBible also offers a sequence that lets you read some Old Testament, some New Testament, some Psalms, and some Proverbs, every day.

For the first time in my life, I can say that I've read the entire Bible. For the past year, I've been receiving a few chapters each day via email from BibleInAYear.org. I've also been using the freeware tool dictator to streamline the reading of the text, so it only took a few minutes each day.

I still wouldn't claim to be an expert, but it has certainly been interesting to walk through the entire book in a systematic way. The discipline of doing the reading first thing each morning has also been positive, as it sets the tone for the whole day.
