What’s your story? Lionel Windsor

Yes, Lionel, well said!!

I think it is no accident that story is a key if not he main way in which God’s plans and purposes are revealed to us in the Bible. The call to ‘remember’and so to live in humble trust and service to our Lord is very strong.  To remember we need to know the story… so back to Lionel’s comments.

Hi Lionel,

Excellent and encouraging post.

I thought I’d share these following resources I’ve found helpful with bible reading.

http://www.bibleplan.org

they have many different programs and will email you out the passages to be read each day (not the text itself)

There is a “Bible in 90 days” program. They produce a bible which has slightly larger lettering and slightly larger pages that does make reading easier.

I also recently came across this bible reading system

where you read 1 chapter a day from each of 10 different lists. He “challenges” people to take it up for 30 days.

Does anyone know if paper diaries are available (I know its so last millenium) where the passages to be read are given each day (not the text just the references) so you can read the bible in a year and make notes?
