Two Year Bible Comments for Jan 1-15.doc
Two Year Bible Reading Schedule.doc
Welcome to Two Year Bible. This group will read through the Bible together in two years. We chose two years because the daily time commitment involved is compatible with even the busiest schedules, making more time available for prayerful reflection on the text. We'll read a passage from the Old and New Testaments and a Psalm every day. Of course, you may choose to focus on just one or two of the readings. Reply comments are welcome--we have already had a few.
The categories used for the reflections are taken from Opening the Book of Faith, by Diane Jacobsen et al. Currently the reference study bible I'm using is the New Interpreter's Study Bible, abbreviated NISB.
If you'd like to download the complete schedule, it's in the attachment at the top of this box.
Comments for January 1-15 are also attached at the top of this box.
As we proceed, you may note that the passages selected vary slightly from the original schedule as I find more rational places to break the text. Suggestions are very welcome.

Comment by John Ferrie on July 1, 2009 at 4:27pm - I have started posting some notes on the daily readings on the 2YrBib schedule, as of 7/1. Each day is its own conversation, with opportunity to reply. Please feel free to start your own completely independent conversations as well. However, if a conversation is based on one or more of the texts for that day, I think it would be helpful to label it with the date.

- Welcome, folks. I had stopped commenting for a while, just because it was lonely in here. However, I'd be happy to pick it up again, starting with comments for July 1, based on the scheduled reading for that day, as a framework for discussion.

Hi Sherry, I just joined this group too. I'm wondering where the schedule is at. Anyone have any feedback? Thanks.
May HE lead us closer to HIM as we study HIS Word!

- I just joined this group- hopefully it is still active. I assume you are in year 1?
