Bible Cycle Step 1 - BOOK

Okay!  Here is the Bible Cycle Step One:
1.  Read the whole book
  1. Sit down and read a book of the Bible all in one sitting.
    • This should take anywhere from around 20-30 minutes to 3 hours depending upon what book you picked
      • A New Testament Epistle takes about 20 minutes with a New Testament Gospel (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) taking 2-3 hours
  2. Re-read in a different translation theory
    • On a different day, pick a different translation to read from.
    • For info on different translation theories, click Bible Translations
    • For my video discussing translations, click HERE
  3. Get the Big Picture
    • In your own words answer the questions:
      • What is the main theme, central idea, big idea behind the book?
    • Write it down
    • Write down the specific scriptures that helped you come to that conclusion
