Christine and I have both done the first 2-days in Genesis and we find it beneficial. I think just reading through the Bible as a goal would not provide the benefit of Tara-Leigh's recaps that point out important things that God wants to teach us using his Word. Before committing to this project (Luke 14:28), I wanted to sample some random days. I picked her recap from John 6-7, because somebody had made a negative comment about it in an Amazon.com review. I discovered that Tara-Leigh provided some significant spiritual insights for these chapters that were new to me even though I have read them many times.
We recommend that you take time to watch the BibleProject summaries for each book to get the overall context for each book of the Bible before starting to read through it. Yesterday, we had Christine's IPad playing the BibleProject summary for Job and a Recap from TaraLeigh playing while we were eating a meal. I think something like that would work for most people even on busy days. It reminds me of this Bible passage:
"Deuteronomy 6: 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates."
And if you fall behind in your Bible readings, so what? Would you lose everything you had already learned? Would it prevent you from starting again, even if you end up missing some Chapters? My private joke is that I caught the chicken pox in second grade and I have been a week behind ever since. That's life for most people. None of us are perfect yet. The question is do we want to better tomorrow than we are today. And no matter what we did yesterday, the more time we spend with God studying his Word, the better off we will be tomorrow.
