God really changed my heart about those books I always avoided. <br /><br />I am enjoying the NT, but so familiar with it. I actually miss the OT.<br /><br />My bible suggested your method...maybe I'll do it next time through!<br /><br />Good luck!Mary@notbefore7https://www.blogger.com/profile/17294717852179643696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478973400022206891.post-11711132301444434532009-06-17T16:13:35.103-06:002009-06-17T16:13:35.103-06:00Love that idea!

All the old stories of bravery, love, trickery, total disobedience, then complete repentance (only to go through the entire cycle again), and the overwhelming sense of God’s power in everyday life. What is not to love? If you have problems with the OT then try a different version of the Bible, my fav is NLT, I find that this is the best “story” format. Also, pick up Francine Rivers’ books – “Lineage of Grace” and “Sons of Encouragement”. Also Liz Curtis Higgs’ books/studies that deal with OT stories or people. After doing some of these things I was totally hooked! <br /><br />What I find difficult to get through are the books of poetry - I don't think I will ever get through Psalms, although there are some verses that I really like, but I normally find my mind wondering and my attention seriously lacking. Any tips for those of us who don’t understand or enjoy poetry?Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18079708732762929798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478973400022206891.post-8257842610877587142009-06-17T06:48:14.697-06:002009-06-17T06:48:14.697-06:00I like your ideas.

I have to admit, I have not read Proverbs or Psalms completely yet. I stayed on track with OT only because I was taking a class. I need accountability!Paula @ Organizing Tips For Momshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09470136676309376261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478973400022206891.post-74027577391479623482009-06-17T06:30:51.100-06:002009-06-17T06:30:51.100-06:00Great idea.

We read it as a family, and now we're reading the chronological version.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04423802244845816945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478973400022206891.post-62652871423682436322009-06-17T05:18:45.126-06:002009-06-17T05:18:45.126-06:00Great thought!
