Have you ever attempted to read through the Bible in a year, or two, only to bog down in Leviticus, Numbers or Deuteronomy? I have. I've tried several methods and reading plans but still had not managed to read through the entire Bible. I didn't have a time goal in mind, I just wanted to read every word.
The answer for me came in the form of the Daily Audio Bible (DAB). This simple, yet powerful, podcast is a single voice reading a "meal-sized" portion of the Bible each day (as opposed to just a snack). Uniquely, a different translation of the Bible is used each week. This keeps The Word fresh for me and allows verses I know by heart to reveal new truths when I hear them from a translation I am not familiar with.
Amazingly, this podcast has grown so popular it is now broadcast in multiple languages and a world-wide community of Believers has formed. I find it so powerful and hopeful to be reminded of brothers and sisters living all across the globe.
I primarily listen to the DAB on my iphone with their user-friendly app. However, the website is touted as the main place to get connected. I urge you to check it out and give the DAB a try for a week or so. Don't worry about what time of year it is. Just jump in on the date you discovered it and get a dose of God's word. Or if you aren't ready for the full podcast, there is Daily Audio Proverb, which is a great way to get started.
I drifted away from the DAB but you've motivated me to return! Thanks for the reminder/inspiration!
