What others are saying about Bible in 1 year
“A challenging reading schedule, though!”, many participants found. “But precisely because you go through all the books at such a fast pace, the common threads become very clear.” “Reading together as a group, made it a lot easier to keep going.”
Many people experienced a deepening and enrichment of their lives as a result of the reading combined with the conversations/discussions.
With Bible in 1 year you get a good understanding of the cohesion between the various books. Because you read through the entire Bible at a fast pace, you get a better idea of the connections and overarching themes.
In addition, it was super fun and I learned a thing or two about the backgrounds of bible books during the weekly meetings; especially the lesser-known books were interesting to discuss.
I finally managed to read (most of) the Bible, something that would never have happened if I had kept trying to do it alone. The format was very informative and illuminating.
I have never read the Bible in its entirety before, and I like getting all kinds of background information to the stories, so now, at the end of this year, I will finally feel like I have, thoroughly and completely, read the Bible.
Bible in 1 year has given me a better overview of the Bible. It has also renewed my interest in the Bible, causing me to spend more time studying it.
I enjoyed diving deeper and having many wonderful conversations. It wasn't always easy to read the Bible, especially the old testament presents God in such an upsetting way, but by reading the entire Bible in one year, I learned to look at it as a collection of stories of experiences with / perceptions of God through the ages.
The Sunday meetings were always enjoyable, seeing each other and finding connections between the texts and the here and now.
