This pace allows me to observe and interpret the passage using my simple inductive method the 4-R Bible Study Method. Depending on the book, I read on average about 15-30 verses a day. In recent years, rather than going “wide” and covering all 66 books in 12 months, I’ve been going “deep.” I take a slow, purposeful pace through one Bible book at a time. I really longed to slow down and take my time. I got to where I just wanted to check the box. The amount of reading required each day kept me moving quickly. But with the Holy Spirit as our Teacher, we can learn straight from the Bible.įor several years I used a “Read-the-Bible-Through-in-a-Year” plan. Published Bible studies are wonderful resources and supplemental studies. Then I realized I could – and should – go straight to God’s Word myself. For a while, I used these kinds of resources as the guide for my time in God’s Word. So, I devoured all the in-depth Bible studies I could get my hands on – particularly Beth Moore’s. More than three decades ago, when I first fell in love with God’s Word, I didn’t have the tools to really study the Bible for myself. “ Should I read it all the way through or should I slow down and read one book at a time?” Women often ask me about the best way to read the Bible.
