I’m still working through the Old Testament after reading the New Testament some years ago.
I keep a beautiful leather-bound of the New Revised Standard Version on the lamp table. The volume was given to me when I joined Marble.
On my Kindle phone app I read the Holman Christian Standard Bible. Great for train trips and waiting on long lines at Walgreens.And because my eyes tire easily, I’ve also been listening to a great podcast on Spotify called Bible: Beginning to End, a straight reading from the New Living Translation with questions (but no answers) for thought after every chapter or so.
I used to think that reading the Bible was something I would do when I finished reading everything else important. Or watching everything on Netflix. Or when I was fully retired. But now that I’m immersed in it, I wish I had done it sooner. My father told me that there is something on every page of the Bible that is good for you. He was right.

Postscript: SInce a recent successful cataract surgery, my eyes no longer tire easily. I can walk in the street, watch tv, and even work on a large monitor without glasses. Bought a pair of readers from Walmart to see the phone and read print on paper. I had been seeing a yellowish tint, some double and triple images, and a round rainbow around lights in an ever-darkening night. Now I see clean whites and sharp blues in HD.
