How to Actually Read the Bible

Two primary Bible reading methods include:

  1. Read all chapters in a book of the Bible to gain full understanding of the message through the author's penmanship

    - Key full Bible books both beginner and veteran readers to read include:  NT - John, Acts     OT - Genesis, Exodus


  2. Read select Bible verses/short passages based on my mood

    - For example, if I feel nervous, I can read the OT book of Isaiah, chapter 26, verses 3 & 4 which talks about seeking God
