Although I have started a new Bible reading plan, I wanted to tell what I was doing before. You can go to the Blue Letter Bible site and find different study tools. I printed out the Lord's Discourses and stuck it in my Bible. I would read through one discourse a day. If there were multiple chapters, I would read a chapter a day. About 35 readings in all.
After reading the passage, I would write in my journal a couple of verses and then a "fresh" take on the passage. I did this for 8 months or so...listening to Jesus speak everyday, over and over. Things started to sink in! Sometime I want to print out the list of his parables and do the same thing.
About a month ago, I visited Donald Miller's site and took his suggestion. He has started to read through the Bible 4-5 chapters a day. Then journals a page or so about God. I am up to Exodus 30 or so...It's been great! I have started a new journaling technique too. BUT...I am thinking about writing a book on that, so you'll have to wait and see.
Anybody out there have some ways of reading the Bible that have helped in your transformation? Let us know.
