The Bible

I have never read the entire Bible from start to finish in the sense that it is the only book I'm reading at the time. I've done "read the Bible in a year" plans, but have never had it be the sole book I'm reading. This is the one I'm most excited about for 2020 and I cheated my order randomization to place this first. I also purchased a version of the Bible I've never read (Christian Standard Bible). This version also does not contain verse references (something not introduced in the Bible until modern times). It's presented in a way that is conducive to reading like a book. I plan to approach it in that way and digging deep. I've always been scared to write in a Bible, but I'm going to mark this one up. I'll be underlining, writing all over it, taking notes in the back, and taking time to note people, places, and things. This should be quite an experience. I expect it to take at least 40 days to read through the entire Bible.
