I have now read the Bible, cover to cover, 78 times. That is just one way I hope the value I put on this book can be told. I desperately hope that another, far more important way, is the impact that this book has on my life.
This is supposed to be a "review" of the book, but what right do I or any of us have to do so? What we should instead do is let the Bible "review" us. Is it changing us? Are we living up to the commands and dictates found in these pages? I know that I have a long, long way to go. But hopefully, with each time through, and with each daily reading, I become just a little bit more like him. Day by day, glory to glory, I pray that I am reflecting Him just a little bit better.

2024 note - Tried the Blue Letter Bible Chronological Reading Plan this year (https://www.blueletterbible.org/asset...). Wow! What a different reading that has been. I decided not to read the Gospels "chronologically" (since that isn't their purpose), but reading just about every other book in Scripture according to a general chronological framework was very eye-opening. Most particularly, it was helpful to read the Prophets and historical books in context together, as well as the Epistles.
I also fall behind quite often on reading plans, but in hindsight my "catch-up" regimens (sometimes multiple epistles in a day) were really helpful as well, as you get a different look at a book of the Bible when you read the whole Gospel/Epistle [sermon] in one reading, sometimes with other books of the Bible in the same day. In our American context, it's too easy to chop verses and even chapters out of context, so reading with the context in mind is really helpful.

I finally read the Bible cover to cover. At the end of revelation, I found my grandma's favorite passage. These verses led her to the Lord on her death bed - "and I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 'Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore for the former things have passed away.'" revelation 21:3-4
I stopped at verse six where it says, "to the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment." And I wrote this in my Bible: I've never felt as deep of a longing for this place than I do now. Yet. Yet, I long for my children, my in laws, my friends, my family to be there too.
The Bible is a book compiled of many smaller books but they all tell the same story. They all point to the same Savior. Even Revelation reminded me of other parts of the scripture like Daniel, 1-3 John, Ruth, the gospels, and many others. Don't miss this epic, true narrative. This is the only book that will actually change your life.
It took me years to get through cover to cover, some people read through it every year, and others jump around or do deep dives book by book. Listen via audible or the dwell app, read it on your phone via youversion, buy a leather study bible online, or get a used one for next to nothing at a thrift store. Seek and you will find. Join me in eternity with Christ!

On my third chronological read through in 3 years. Best book ever written. It’s alive, I trust no opinion of anyone who hasn’t read it now. Life goes from black and white to color and you are changed. Plan to read it through every year for the rest of my life. Don’t leave life and miss this book.
On a secular note. I will die on the hill that of you haven’t read the Bible through you have left 60% of any classic literature understanding you have ever read on the table read this and go back have-read them all. The lights will come on.
