The Bible Reading Action Plan – How it Came to Pass

By Joseph Taylor | Published: August 22, 2008

I always seem to get stuck and give up reading once I hit Leviticus and Numbers. Wouldn't it be great to also be reading another section of the Bible, a section that I was currently enjoying? That way the enjoyable part would give me strength to continue through the "boring" part. Hmmm... I realized I was on to something.
