After finishing the journey through the Bible in 90 days, I wasn’t sure how to ease back and study. But I picked up this New Testament SOLO while I was in Chico last Monday. It is good. It has really given me a way to engage my senses in studying scripture. One of the days had me reading a passage as if Jesus had written me a letter, so I went to my mailslot in the front of my house, as if I had just opened the letter. I walked back to my house reading this letter, and it really made the scripture come alive. And on another day, I had read through the passage once, but it said that during the second time to pick one of the characters and read it as if I were part of the action, as if I were that character. Then, talk to Jesus about what happened in that scene. Your feelings and thoughts as the scene unfolded. It put a whole new light on a passage that I would have thought that I wouldn’t get anything new. If you’re looking to not just get through scripture, but get scripture through you, it is a great devotional to pick up.
