You can start with us anytime! Just divide the number of pages in your Bible by 52. This will give you the number of pages to read every week. The goal is to finish the same week of the month that you start next year. I finish November 2010. This blog is simply to record my notes along the way, and not to be considered a "Cliff Notes" of the Scripture! Holy Ghost, teach me as I read!
1 John 2:27
