My Bible Journey

Hello, I'm Mark.  Welcome to my Bible Journey!                 I plan to read the Bible one book at a time, one chapter at a time, and one verse at a time from the Book of Genesis all the way through to the Book of Revelation.  Along the way I will summarize what I read, write down verses that pique my interest, and jot down thoughts and reflections about the Bible passage.  I don't know how long this journey will take or where this journey will take me.  I look forward to the journey and what God has in store for me and you!  I pray that I grow closer to the Lord, learn more about the scriptures,and share with other people that are interested in learning more about God's holy inspired Word.                Listed below are the books in the Bible.  I will start at the beginning in the book of Genesis, work my way through the Old Testament, and read the new Testame...

Verses of Interest Joshua 1:7-9 -  “Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.  Keep this...
