How to Read the Bible

Okay, so here is my method of Bible study:

1. I pick a book of the Bible I haven't read before.
2. I read it carefully through in its entirety.
3. I cross it off the list of books I've read.
4. I pick another book of the Bible I haven't read before.

And so on. Now a couple of highlights:

1. Daniel and the Revelations of John have been known to drive people absolutely out of their minds. I recommend reserving them until later, and being careful about reading them.
2. Obviously it can be necessary to compare books with one another or research a certain topic, and for this a concordance can be very useful.
3. I find it good to take notes on the book I'm reading while I'm reading it, writing down passages that are interesting, and commenting on what I'm getting out of the reading.
