How Many Times Have You Read The Bible Through ?

[Scott Hutchinson]

Usually I read the bible through in a year ,I think I have read the KJV about 7 times through.I did read the NASB once though.
Really I do alot of reading in the NKJV ,which I need to read systematically through.
This year I must confess ,I didn't start reading the Bible through in a year again.
But every day before I go to work ,I start my day with Bible reading.
Usually The KJV and then another translation.

I can read a 300 page book easily in a day if it is interesting.

Bro Epley, I too can read like this, though a bit faster.
I am a voracious reader and tend to read 5-7 books a week pluss my regular Bible.
I find though that while reading the Bible, I cannot go fast. I don't know if it is so interesting or just that it is so in depth. Either way, it takes me a while to read chapters. The most that I have read in a sitting was 40 chapters, about an hour.

I have since read my Bible all the way through and continue to do so regularly.
And I read more than the KJV all the way through as well.
How many times have you read your Bible all the way through ?

Growing up, 12-19 years, I read the KJV through several times...as and adult I have read the NIV through more than 20 times...I like the flow of the NIV.

Blessings, Rhoni

I do own a NIV ,but I prefer The NKJV to it .Also the ESV is nice.
I have the Amplified as well.I have two NASBS as well.

I had a pastor that read very rapidly.
What he did to keep from speed reading the Bible was that he forced himself to write out the Scriptures and then read them. That way he wouldn't go through them so fast.
