My iPhone Bible. Sounds irreverent. It makes my husband cringe. I grab my purse and my phone…(my Bible) and I’m ready for church. Really? Does my iPhone Bible count?
It has a daily reading to help me read through the Bible in one year. I’ve always wanted to do that, but haven’t made it yet. Could I do it now? Will this make a difference? I started late…mid March.
My phone has a back light, so when I wake up in the middle of the night or really early in the morning, I can read without turning on the light.
I can read stuck in line somewhere or waiting on my children.
I went on a trip and had my Bible with me. The version I am using is an old version. No one cares about the copy wright, I guess. It was free online. But I’ve read the NIV for so long and last year I read the NT in the Easy Reader Version. Maybe I’m ready for the good old KJV.
I’m enjoying the poetic and antiquated language.
Have you ever read the Bible through in a year? How did you do it? Did you ever get way behind and have to read a ton to catch up? Any advice?

My son uses his iPhone Bible in church and I am sure there are those around thinking he is texting or surfing.
I am attempting this “read through the Bible” now. Never too late to start … Who made the rule that you had to start in January? A year is a year no matter when you start. I like having something to read with me as I wait for children, too.

I’m going to use it in church, too. I hope people will know that I’m not texting.
You’re right, there is no rule about January!!

Hi Amy!
I did read the NIV Bible through one year at Harding, when Dr. Burks was offering that free steak dinner. Just the mention of food got my going I think. 😉
Anyway, I’m not a “details person”, so it was pretty hard to stay on track. I was at a church New Year’s Eve party and about 11pm I went into one of the church offices and read the entire book of Revelation with minutes left in the year! :O) It was fun and I actually got a better look at Revelation than I had ever had before then.
It was totally worth it and my life was more focused during that year, for sure.
Hope you do it!
Love and miss you!

Details are not my strength either! That was a huge accomplishment. Thanks for the encouragement. That cracks me up that you had a last minute finish of the book of revelations. I could see me doing the same thing!
Love and miss you, too!!
