I READ THE BIBLE IN 90 DAYS | Here's what happened. . . 

This is great, Mitzi, and AWESOME job!!! I just finished the Bible in 57 days, beating my previous record of 75 days. Next goal is 40 days then a week!! Keep at it!

I'm so glad you shared your experiences Mitzi! I did this a year ago and really enjoyed the experience of it. I don't know if you saw my video, but I think we had some similar feelings about it. I also read the ESV. I have been using it for a little while now and like it very much. I'm such a slow reader, so it took me sometimes 3 hours to do my daily reading, but I'm so glad I did. It really helps you see the big picture and how it all fits together seamlessly.

Reading the entire Bible in 90 days is quite a fete. I think that beats Gone with the Wind as your Mammoth read! 😊 There was a time in my life when I was shattered into a million tiny pieces. That brokenness, though difficult was so necessary because it brought me to my knees. I spent 2+ years away from all that I knew. My one constant was Jesus. I prayed that God would give me an insatiable hunger for His word. He gave it to me in spades! The translation that I had with me at the time was the NLT. While not known for being a word for word literal translation like the ESV. It is very readable! I memorized as I poured over the scriptures. I use many translations in my studies now. But the word that has been hidden in my heart is the NLT. Thanks so much for sharing this!

That’s quite the accomplishment! Since I’m still fairly new in my walk, although I’ve studied several Books on my own, or with my study group, I’ve never read the Bible in it’s entirety. Last year, I tried the read your Bible in a year plan, and failed miserably. While I’ve been using the ESV translation the last three years, I decided to read the Bible chronologically in the NLT version. I’m doing it with a reading partner so we can hold one another accountable, and have short conversations about what we’re learning. I also am listening to large portions on audio because it’s easier on my eyes. I prefer deep diving into a Book rather than this overview type of reading, but feel I can resume that type of study next year once I’ve actually read the entire Bible at least once. Thanks for sharing!

Good take. I have read the Bible in 90 days twice. Even though our church uses the ESV, I used the NIV that is specially designed for the program. That bible has no notes, maps or references. It also has a 12 page per day calendar. It is what must have happened on the frontier - people letting the bible speak to them. For me it was parts of the OT that no preacher ever mentioned that really made me understand some of the deep and hard truths.

Mitzi-I’ve been binging your channel (love it) and feel like we have similar reading tastes. I read the Bible through every year as well. This year I am reading through a version from a Messianic Jewish man-The Complete Jewish Bible. He first put out the NT, and later added the OT. They are basically the same as the KJV I’ve read all of my adult life- different order, names are all Jewish. I like his insights in the intro and, I like his explanations since the OT and NT are both Jewish books! I enjoyed Jane Austen July and am looking forward to other challenges.

This is a great! Speaking of Bible versions - when people ask what Bible translation is the best, I tell them it's whatever version that helps you understand it and makes you want to come back and read more.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Mitzi! I read a NIV version of the Bible. I am always fascinated in how The Message Bible translates it into very modern text and language. I thought it was interesting how you felt rushed; that’s testament to you usually digging deep. I wonder how you will feel when you do this a second time 😊📚

Wow that is AMAZING to read the entire Bible in 90 days. I need to do that myself. I will be honest I am looking forward to retiring in two years. I miss having time to really dig into the word. I do a devotional every morning when I get to work but that is still nothing like sitting unlimited and digging...I have several translations too. The KJV is too much for me I get lost or confused...my favorite is the Sprint filled translation or NLT...Great video Mitzi 😇

I read through the one time front to back with NIV but you are right different versions will be a different experience. And what I found was kinda what you said parts felt like I was doing it on plan without taking the time to understand the density. Well done and thanks for sharing.

I'd love to hear what you think about the CSB (which I think is the basis for "The Bible in 90 Days Reading Schedule")! :)

I read the Bible in 90 days 3 times last year. And it was great! I had the same thought…by reading the Bible quickly like that you get the whole big picture of what the Bible is and Who the Bible is about. This year I’m reading the vintage Reese chronological Bible so I’m going much slower! I like what you said about reading a different translation. I’m a diehard KJV reader! It is what I am familiar with. All the verses I have ever memorized over the years is with KJV. I am happy with it and see no need to switch. However, I’m not opposed to reading the ESV on my own. I am thinking I’ll go back to reading the Bible in 90 days again next year and try to read it 4 times! And add the ESV for one of those times. I couldn’t do that this past year because I got Covid and was too sick to do any reading at all. I watched a lot of old hallmark movies, though..haha!. But yes back to the 90 day plan next year. I like the challenge and the discipline and reading the Bible never gets boring since it is the Living Word. Your video is a year old so I’d be interested to know how you liked it?

One year I read the Bible in Amplified 😂😂😂! I’ll never forget that. I can’t do the fast read plans, they don’t work for me. ♥️

Love it! I have read half way through the Bible but want to finish this year.

Hi. I use the ESV and the NIV interchangeably for Bible study. And I add in the Amplified Bible sometimes. For everyday reading for inspiration and daily living I use the NLT. Also I will occasionally pick up The Message to see Eugene Peterson’s take on it. The Psalms are fun to read in The Message!

This is great! I still have to read the ESV. I think that's the one I'll go with next year. I've only read the Bible in a year, but I would like to try 6 monthes. I would also like to listen to it at some point.

I did a Read the Bible in 90 days using an NIV version that was set up for that. I started off with NIV and ended up finishing with the NLT. Did you use a reading plan or just set a time to read each day?

I've been wanting to do this reading plan. What a great idea to use it for a new translation

My 18th birthday gift was an NIV, and it's still the Bible I use regularly - over 30 years. This sounds really interesting, though. I tend to not be very disciplined, so who knows how that would go for me. Our diocese's sort of standard version is the ESV and we do have and use it a lot, (in fact our new seminary right here in my home province is called Packer College), so I think I would read that one first if I undertake something like this. The timing will have to be right. It's really helpful to get your thoughts.

It took me three years to read through the Bible. It was a long slog at times.
