Read the Bible in 90 Days

If your like me you have tried to read the complete bible before and have just never finished. I have probably tried 2 or 3 times. The other day I was listening to American Family Radio and they had a lady on there that had just read the entire bible in 90 days. She was actually getting ready to do it again. I checked out the link for the program she followed and it seemed pretty doable. The bible is the NIV version which is supposed to be a more "readable" version than the preferred NKJV. It is set up were you are supposed to read 12 pages everyday. There are notes in the book showing were you are to stop and start each day. It takes about 30 - 45 minutes to read each section. We decided to order these special bibles and the study guide and we received them yesterday and got started right way. I figured once the house is done and the baby is here it will get much harder to get this goal accomplished. After one night of ready It does seem like a pretty good reading version, not a study version, which is what I needed.

Here is the site that sells the plan.

Also the bible comes as a nice harb back book and only cost $14.99.

Crank, Glass, and Fallout...Ellen Hopkins Series

Throughout the past couple of months I have been reading a series of books from my favorite novelist Ellen Hopkins. The three books in the series are Crank, Glass, and Fallout which are loosely based on Hopkins' daughter's story and her addiction to crystal meth. The first two books are in the perspective of the main character Kristina and the third takes place 19 years later in the perspective of Kristina's children.

Overall I enjoyed the first two books the most only because you've had the perspective of this one character the whole time then it gets switched up on you, but the third on is still good. All of Ellen's books are written in poems, but very understandable and still follow a storyline. They are also all based on teenage struggles therefore appeal mainly to teens and young adults.

Some other books I have read by her are Burned and Impulse which are also really good!

What we are Reading

I just finished "Heaven is for Real." It was great I liked that is was short and too the point. He also backed up all the "events" with scripture.

Now I am reading "Through my Eyes" By Tim Tebow. It is really good and gives the inside perspective from the best college football player ever.

Most nights we are both also reading a chapter of "Praying the New Testament" By Elmer Towns. It is good for dumbing down the stories of the bible and making them easier to remember then following with actual scripture(although it is from an unknown version of the bible, not NKJV.)
