Ever wanted to read the ENTIRE bible? Tried and got distracted? Confused? Couldn't find the time?  Join us this year as we READ the ENTIRE bible in a year.  We have developed a day-by-day outline that will help you stay on track -Just a few chapters a day.

& U DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE!! 

We are available to answer any questions about your reading.    Just email us at info@douglaschapel.org.  We will try to respond with 24 hours
(so you stay on track!)

To get the most out of your reading, we recommend the following:

1)  BIBLE:  Find a version of the bible you are comfortable with.  The focus is just to read the bible like a good novel.  Easy to read versions include New International Version, Contemporary English, Amplified Version, etc. Also, bibles with commentaries may help with understanding (but remember the focus is READING, not studying). 

2)  RESOURCES:  a small notebook (to jot down questions), and a  bible dictionary (a simple student version is sufficient) to help with definitions and pronunciations. 

3)  TIME:  Decide on a devotional time that works into your schedule - may be early morning, lunch time (eating and reading the bible - YUMMY!), bath time, or evening. 

4)  PRAY FOR UNDERSTANDING:  You MAY NOT understand everything you read the FIRST time you read it, and that's okay.  The Holy Spirit will bring understanding to when you NEED it.

5)  DON'T GIVE UP!!  If you miss a day or two (and you probably will), it's OKAY.  Don't beat yourself up.  Work those missed days into your schedule simply by adding a chapter to your schedule, or better yet, just start where you left off.  The goal is the read the ENTIRE bible - if not in one year, then maybe a year and a half. 

6)  YES, THERE'S A PURPOSE TO ALL OF THAT "STUFF"   - So when you get to the book of Numbers (which is all about numbers), or the book of Chronicles (which is  talks about the ORDER of things) or  the beginning of Matthew (who begat who), and you are thinking "WHAT???????".   Just remember - everything  and everyone in the bible had a purpose (or God wouldn't put it there).  

HAVE FUN!!  & GOOD LUCK!!
