Completed my 3rd time through in 2023.

My goal is 4 times this year. I have 51 of the 66 books completed for the 4th time through.

I’ve been doing the following:
* “Read through the Bible in Year” using YouVersion Bible app. Listening to NASB95 while reading NIV Every Man’s Study Bible. - 3-5 chapters - 30 minutes every night.

* “Horners Reading Plan” again using YouVersion Bible App. Reading NASB 2020 Wide Margin/Single Column while listening to NASB95. 10 chapters a day - about 30 minutes every morning.

* Seperate concentrated studies based on current Group Studies, church sermon series, etc.

I believe my avg day is an hour in the word (30 min morning & 30 mins evening.) it has changed my life for the better. I learn something new every day.

This is the greatest book I have ever read. Strike that. This is the greatest book ever written.

With that said, this is not a review of the Bible. After all, what right can I possibly have to review the Bible? No, the way this really works is that I let the Bible review me. How deeply am I hiding it in my heart? How closely am I following its precepts? Unfortunately, there is no way that I could rate myself anywhere close to 5 stars. Yes, I am growing, but I've still got a long way to go.

This is now my 70th time reading the Bible through cover to cover. Each time I find that there is still more to learn. There is still more change that needs to take place in me. God willing, I am getting there. One day, on the other side, I will arrive.

The oldest version of the NASB is hands down my favorite translation of Jehovah God's Holy Word because the translators capitalized every reference to God, including all personal pronouns. Today, as a writer this is a non-negotiable for me. A personal pronoun reference to God is the same as saying God, Jesus, Jehovah and His children wouldn't dream of not capitalizing those names of God.

easy read, great with iPhone

Can read in dark mode, great for night time. No distractions in the book/app. This book is great if you love NASB

I like this translation. The ability to click certain words to get alternate meanings is helpful. Read through the Bible in a year plan with Jeff.

This review is for the Kindle version and is not about content, it is strictly about format.

Perhaps one of the greatest disservice, and I address only my own situation, was the decision to break up the Bible into chapters and verses. Was it done so that we could measure how much time we spent reading or to set reading goals? I don’t really know but in my case it perpetuated feeling of failure.

I have always perceived a certain hierarchy among Bible readers: those who read the entire Bible within a year, those who read multiple chapters every day, and then us who feel inadequate comparing ourselves group 1 and/or 2. With each New Year came the challenge, along with the Bible reading plan, to attain the elusive status of group 1. These reading plans never really changed; recommending a mixture of chapters from the New and Old Testament, implying that “of course it is too challenging to read an entire book”. Looking back now, I see the flaw of this well meant direction and am deeply concerned that we (the church universal) have perpetuated a completely wrong approach to reading the Holy Bible. The idea that one would accomplish reading a really, really long book by starting in Chapter 40, then reading only a part of Chapter 1, and also adding just a few sentences from Chapter 19 sounds completely ludicrous. And for me, this prescribed plan simply never resonated, leaving me frustrated, feeling inadequate and resigning myself to the belief that I would never succeed.

If you are someone who reads and studies the Holy Bible, I wholeheartedly recommend reading this publication without chapters and verses. It is a completely different experience, which in my case, has changed everything about how I now read/study the Bible. I finally understand God’s relationship with Israel, the captivity, the redemption, the rules, the genealogies, all of it became illuminated in a different way. The New Testament is no longer “the easier part”. The proverbial lightbulb moment was exactly that.

I can now say that I have read the Holy Bible entirely. I gave myself as much time as I needed to properly finish each book, making notes and marking passages to research further. I also no longer feel that I need a “devotional” to guide me or to track how much I read daily. I still love my physical leather bound Bible that has seen me through many decades, I would never want to give that up. Both serve an important purpose.

I unreservedly recommend this Kindle edition and thank the publishers.

I'm anything but a scholar, the furthest from a well-stocked source. In being so limited, I appreciate sources that are dependable. It is my understanding that the NASB is a formally equivalent translation, going word-for-word instead of though-for-thought. I don't want to be told what to think when I can read it for myself, and I fear a thought-for-thought, or dynamic, translation runs the risk of assuming how we would interpret an author's words without giving us the author's words as he wrote them.

As the scripture goes, it does indeed feel like an active and living Bible as I read through the whole. I'm on my fourth full read-through and I always take away something new that I didn't focus on last time, or it hits me again with a new zeal and passion. Though some books are monotonous in the details of heritage and lineage, I find they are a great resource for historical traces and wonderment at construction and art through the ages. My favorites beyond that are Ezekiel , Daniel , Kings , Chronicles , and Songs of Solomon . Ezekiel has a strong resemblance to a few sword-and-sorcery and pulp writers I enjoy, which in turn makes me relate the destruction of Atlantis to the destruction of God's people's kingdoms. Ezekiel 27 is very historically and culturally descriptive, a good reference for the era. Daniel, Hananiah, Mishal, and Azariah's enslavement and life are ones for everyone to examine for our own introspection and encouragement. Kings and Chronicles deal with subterfuge and violence, giving Game of Thrones a run for its money. I'm a sucker for cosmic romance and poetry that isn't effeminate and mushy, like Songs of Solomon and Proverbs.

My wife and I read four chapters everyday. We have read through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation every year for the last seven years and going......

easy to read through

The NASB is a literal translation keeping close to the original Greek and Hebrew words. This readers version is easy for reading through entire books and is a great addition to versions that include chapters and verse headings. It’s also nice to be able to quickly select and look up word definitions using the app

Awesome, clear thought in reading .No change of direction by numbered verses!
