Well, it's actually 90 days, but like what is said in the program, there are two "grace" days included. I first found out about B90 (their shorthand for this) through an email alert, and got curious enough to check out the site. The site's name basically says what the goal is: finish reading the Bible in 90 days or less. This can be done as an individual, small group, or even as a church. The site offers a variety of resources and activities that can help one achieve the goal. These include an edition of the Bible specifically printed for this campaign, as well as reading guides, instructional materials, etc. It also features related activities and testimonials.

The Bible in 90 days ministry was founded by Ted Cooper Jr. He started by developing Bible reading curriculums for his local church and community, which later expanded and led to his leaving his career and going full-time into the ministry.

I was going through the reading guide, the one for an individual's daily reading. For someone who has repeatedly tried to read through the Bible in a year, the daily assignment is quite daunting. I didn't checked it all, but the fact that I have to read 16 chapters of Genesis at the very first day seems, well, scary and unattainable. I can barely read 3 chapters a day, let alone make it consistent on a daily basis. But like what Ted Cooper is saying, maybe planning to finish it in a year makes it more difficult than doing it in three months, simply because the end of the goal is quite nearer if done in a quarter of a year. Nevertheless, I think it would require a great deal of effort and dedication to go through this program. Plus of course, a great deal of outside help, prone as we are to neglect of the more important things in life.

How about you? Have you tried this program? Are you interested in doing so? Well, you can go over to the site, download a reading plan, and go through it.

Let me know what you think about this, and what progress you are making if you are doing this.
